Thanks to all who offered advice. I got my 7600/G3 to recognize the HD again, but now I cannot initialize the drive. HD Toolkit and ATTO ExpressPro Tools both failed, as well as Drive Setup and a hacked copy of Drive Setup. In the case of the latter two programs, I get a message saying that the drive lacks 512-byte sectors and therefore cannot be initialized. The drive is one of those IBM full height jobs (DCHS-09F), and there have been mixed reports of success on the xlr8yourmac database. Does that mean that the drive is basically unusable in my mac?
