Just an afterthought to this thread:the problem of "foreign drives" not
being recognized by Apple's drive-setup programs (guess why) seems to be
well known where scsi drives are conserned. There are patches to be found
on the web. But your's is an IDE drive, if I understand correctly. The
one third-party formatting program which recently helped me to finally
"see" and format an IBM drive installed in my duo dock was intech's Hard
Disk Speed Tools (vs. 3.0) (www.IntechUSA.com -they pride themselves of
recognizing "virtuallly every SCSI and IDE drive on the market"). Maybe
it's worthwile to check it out.
