I am using the OS8 Disk 2 boot disk for PPC, and when I run the Drive Setup
from OS9, it asks for it, if I run the Drive Setup Lite, then it works, it
only gives me the error when I run other than the version that came on the
Disk Tools OS8 boot disk.
Can someone who is running OS8.0/8.1 send me a copy of the Appearance Lib?
Is there anyway to remove the drive and connect it to my Powerbase 240 that
had IDE support and work with it there? Or on a PC and use a BIOS level
formatter? Or is the disklock in the firmware of the drive?
Thanks!
