OK, I went out to the workshop looking for some bubble wrap to send off an eBay-won LaserWriter with. While rooting, I unearthed a IIvx with a 500MB SCSI hard disk.
The disk was a Quantum Pro-Drive LT. Same size as the one I tried, but THIS one has on-board term power. The other Quantum Pro Drive did not. IT was marked as just "Pro-Drive". No LT. To my surprise, it mounted on the desktop when I booted from a System 6.0.8. floppy disk. Then , I tried booting from the Pro Drive LT. IT had System 7.6 on it, and gave the sad-mac with code beneath. No worries. Using the Alliance Power Tools disk, I "Auto" setup the drive. It errored at trying to mount the drive, giving the "Not Enough Memory" message. Rather than to find a System Heap adjusting init off the Internet, I just rebooted. The "Toolbox" took over and asked me to initialize the drive, which I did. When finished, I copied the System Folder off the 6.0.8. Disk Tools Disk onto the newly prepped 500MB drive. Upon reboot, IT WORKED!!!! Again and again..... So, Mark, the secret will be finding a drive smaller than a GIG, and making sure it has the term power on the controller.
