What you'll probably need to do is find an older copy of Drive Setup and/or
grab Resedit and patch it to recognize third party drives.
Failing that, you could get a third-party program like HD Toolkit or the
like.
I'm away from the web at the moment, but if you have trouble finding the
Drive Setup hacks, let me know and I'll look for them later.

Subject: Unsupported drive?
> Hi,
> I recently bought a IBM 4.5gb 50pin SCSI HDD model "DCHS",
> which is now fitted internally in a 7600. It spins up OK.
>
> The only way I could get it to appear on the desktop is to run

>
> If I run "Disc first aid" it says the disc seems OK.
> When I try to run "Drive set up" it can see the drive on the SCSI
> chain, but won't initialise it because "Cannot modify a disk in an
> unsupported drive".
>
> I tried to install MAC OS 9 on the drive, and I get told it won't do it
> because the disc drivers are wrong.
>
> Can anyone tell me can this drive be changed to become a normal
> Mac drive? All ideas welcome.

> Many thanks,
> Davy
