It will format with a patched HDSC Setup so I suspect it will work with
Drive Setup. I have an ST15150N which was last formated with a patched
HDSC Setup from OS 8.1 IIRC. One word of caution on this drive, it runs
hot. Make sure you have adequate ventilation around it. An 8500 should be
okay (or at least better than the second drive bay on my 7500).
