I have a pair of 18 GB 68 pin Western Digital Drives in a 7500. Apple Drive Setup can be hacked to recognize them. You might try this link for more info on the hack: <http://www.euronet.nl/users/ernstoud/drvsetup.html> Having little experience with ResEdit it took a couple of attempts before I got it right. After opening the fSCR registry in Apple Drive Setup with ResEdit, I used the "QUANTUM,*" (resource 299) as the model for my newly created "WDIGTL,*" name which is listed as resource 128. Of course always use a COPY of Drive Setup when attempting the hack. This will keeping you original file intact in case the hack fails. Or I could Email you a copy of the WD hacked Drive Setup --glen (digest mode) -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
