I had stated above: > I cannot get Disk Utility to allow me to put OS 9 drivers on this drive. > Whether from the boot system, or from booting off the CD, Disk Utility tells > me that (when the SCSI drive is selected) if the "Install OS 9 drivers" is > greyed out (which it is) just for "fun" I highlighted the OS X ATA hard drive (the 7200 rpm ATA Western Digital), and it too was not satisfactory for OS 9 drivers, according to Disk Utility> Any wisdom appreciated.
