I was able to get this to work. Very cool. What I did was added an "fSCR" resource with the name "WDIGTL,*". It seems as though Drive Setup uses the name of the manufacturer as reported from the drive, and the model reported from the drive, as the lookup for a "fSCR" resource that can be used to set up that specific drive. An * following the manufacturer name in resource name allows it to use any drive from that manufacturer. So, for the original poster, he needs to add a resource with the name and model number of the drive in it. There are existing Seagate drives, so I would copy/paste one of those, then modify the name to contain his exact model number. You can get the model number from SCSI Probe or such utility. It may be necessary to modify the fSCR resource to get it to work flawlessly: They appear to be the list of the low-level SCSI commands and parameters to send to the actual drive. --> Russ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
