I'm just uhh... Really dumb. I didn't plug the SCSI cable into the motherboard all the way even though I swear I did.
Yes, it is an official DPES-31080 IBM/Apple drive. I have the jumpers set for auto-termination. However, I have a new problem. With Disk Tools (From a 7.5.0 disk set) is inserted, I can see the drive, I can write to the drive (I tested this by copying over Apple HD SC Setup and Disk First Aid) I can partition the drive, but I cannot initialize the drive to save my life, nor can I test the drive. When I do, it gives me a "The disk could not be initialized. Unable to initialize the disk" error. My partition setup contains: 27k Mac Driver 37k Mac Driver 256k Apple Driver 10Kit 256k Apple Patches 1058459k Macintosh HD (I created this partition) Without being able to Initialize it, I can't install System 7. -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
