I've found that, in general, Seagate SCSI drives are problematic (at best) on Macs. That is, OS 9's brain-dead Drive Setup won't touch them, so you have to use something else. I used HDT 4.0 on such drives in the past, which of course meant that I couldn't boot from them. I've only recently replaced all the Seagate SCSI drives (I had 2) on my system. One was replaced with a 9 gig IBM SCSI drive, the other with a 10 gig Maxtor IDE drive on a VST UltraTek IDE card. No problems with either drive, both are OS 9 and OS 10 bootable! What you will probably need to is low level format it with HDT or somesuch, and then use it as a data drive. You won't be able to boot from it. Although I understand that Hard Drive Speed Tools can handle such drives *and* make them bootable, I have no direct knowledge of this.
