Hello Robert,
Have you tried to connect an external drive (harddrive - zipdrive)
with a functioning operating system on it and formatted the drive from
there?
Make sure that you use system software through 7.5.5 max. I used 6.0.8 on
both my Portables, one with and one without HD and "StickyClick" and they
work like a charm.
Also check out these link and take it from there:

hope this helps,
tobias.

powerbooks
>(Duo280c, Duo250, PB520c, PB540c) maybe you can help me with this early
Portable.
>The drive spins up but is not recognized. I tried all of the standard
>utilites but nothing finds the drive...
