Here are my two pences about the SCSI drive problem. I'm not an SCSI expert,
but perhaps this two ideas may help...

First one: as someone has remembered, the Classic II does have internal
termination, but the Plus doesn't have it. Thus, a pass-through terminator may
be already attached to the drive's cable at the computer's end (AFAIK, this is
needed most times with a Plus to terminate the chain in the Plus' end because
Pluses don't have internal termination). A pass-through terminator looks like
a gender changer: it's a little box with two simmilar connectors (a male and a
female) that goes between the cable's plug and the Plus. If you have one of
those, removing it may solve the problem.

Second one: it's sad to say that, but... if the drive worked correctly for a
day or so with the Classic II and now the SCSI utilities can detect it but
can't mount or format it, chances are high that it was 'touched' by the Plus'
power supply failure and is broken. Try to plug the drive to another Macintosh
and see if it works. All I can say is that I hope I'm wrong and all you have
is a termination problem.
