There is also a hacked utility, filename: < HD SC Setup 7.3.5 (Patched) > (for googlers) which some clever individual hacked so Apple's HD SC Setup could "see" an IBM HD, ane which otherwsie works like the original. What WAS Apple thinking...? tsk tsk.
I may be using it myself soon, if I can score a larger SCSI HD to cram into my SE/30-footprint external HD cabinet ( which presently contains an ancient 80MB HD ). I'm trying to dredge up a 4 to 6 GB HD to replace it, so I can keep the cabinet viable. I've gotten used to the SE/30 being 2 inches higher now, and it feels all wrong when it's parked at its natural height lol...

Can i use a pc scsi hard drive on a macintosh?
In principle, yes.
It doesnt reconize the disk, but if I booted a floppy disk would it be able to format/initialize the pc hard drive?
The official Apple HD tools of the era are picky, and won't. Other 3rd party ones aren't, and will.
Other more knowledgable people on that issue will now suggest suitable less-picky formatters:
