Apple Drive Setup does not recognize all models of all makes of drives. You can work around that by using ResEdit but I don't think it is worth the trouble. For more info check this old web site. http://www.euronet.nl/users/ernstoud/drvsetup.html It is out of date but the idea is there.
I would suggest you use Hard Disk Speed Tools or any other good formating utility. If you do this be certain you use the same utility on all your drives. Hard Disk Speed Tools is good for this because it allows you to take over a drive without initilizing. >Hello all, I have the Starmax 4000/2000 with os9.1 and 96 megs of RAM.
