A year since pickle left and what, 6 months since Gamba last posted.
The page contains tools and advice. Also the regedit hack for HDSC setup under sys 6 as well as the patched version.
You might try
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=8647 for maximum volume sizes. (gamba's links require updating) note the appleshare limits
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=15460
No probs with 2gb but can get sticky past that which would be a good arguement for installing Open Transport.
=============================
To resedit drive setup by hand (differing slightly from hdsc-setup)
Fujitsu used as an example:
You will have to modify Drive Setup's fscr resource, using Resedit, to include one for "Fujitsu,*", otherwise your FJ drive won't be recognized.
Use resource 669 as a model (that one is "SEAGATE,*"), copying 669, then pasting after one of the low-numbered ones, thereby creating resource 128.
Then, use Get Info and change the text to read "Fujitsu,*".
If you're fortunate enough to have Western Digital 68-pin drives (actually, they're pretty good), you can do the same thing and add "WDIGTL,*" as resource 129.
Probably no good to you but who knows.
=============================
You may well need lido, micronet, FWB, or formatterOne, try apples tool first. Going back to apples standard tools can be a problem once the drive is formatted with 3rd party tools if you ever find the need.
Do check that the drive is Scsi (50 pin) rather than IDE (40 pin) as noted earlier. ;)
