68- and 80-pin drives have different model numbers from their otherwise
identical 50-pin counterparts.
Apple used Seagate ST-15150N and ST-15150W in various models, so the 15150
series, in all its flavors, seems to be accepted.
Not so for other manufacturer's models.
Converted drives usually requires HDT, or a hack to Drive Setup.
For most SCSI drives, taking the definition of a generic Seagate
("SEAGATE,*"), say, copying it, then pasting a new resource as ID=128, and then
editing
that new resource to show a "wild card" drive model, is enough to make these
converted drives usable by Drive Setup.
I am presently using Western Digital 18.3 GB UW-SCSI drives on my Beige G3,
and the necessary support can be obtained by creating a new "WDIGTL,*" resource
as ID=128 within Drive Setup.
