If all else failed (as it did in my Color Classic) dissassemble the unit and
hook the SCSI disk to another computer (in my case, a PC, since it was
locked with FWB tools and no mac was available to the task) to do the job.
As I said, in my CC I hooked it up to a Adaptec SCSI in a PC and let its ROM
utilities low-level format the HD. After that, the Apple tools worked fine
and the machine worked flawlessly.
