To point you to the right direction, here's some info: http://www.euronet.nl/users/ernstoud/scsi.html there is a link to download the HD SC Setup 3.0.1 (A/UX)- look for it! I have the Apple HD SC Setup (patched) to work with all drives, however I understand that distributing is not encouraged (?) However according to this website the info on how to do it yourself is here: http://www.euronet.nl/users/ernstoud/patch.html There were a few (actually two) freewares including: SCSI Formatter & Installer (dunno how to or where to download it) HDUtility (ftp://ftp.ix.de/pub/ct/listings/ct8910mc.zip) couldn't download it though... and of course my disclaimer, whatever you do with this info is your responsibility, of course if you edit something in your home, to use in your home, and not sell it or make some kind of profit it should be ok. since it is so hard for anyone to go into you computer and search for those things and see what you're doing. taking into consideration that this is available in the internet and is searchable through search engines, I am just speeding the proccess for you :) -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
