The "problem" with Macs and dodgey hard drives is there's no way to get low level access to ROM routines for low level formatting a drive. You must boot a System or Mac OS. Unfortunately if the driver on the HD is "FUBAR" or incompatable with a driver on another disk then you're "SOL" when it comes to trying to boot with the problem drive attached or it just will refuse to mount even if some utils can see that there are partitions on it.
I think I sent SCSI Director 1.7.2 and some newer versions to Gamba. 1.7.2 is so old it has settings for 3:1 interleave for Mac Plus, 2:1 for Mac SE and 1:1 for Mac Other. :) Some time later, TranSoft bought SCSI Director, released several versions, discontinued it sometime around 1997 then shipped it off to Hewlett Packard when they sold off their SAN (Storage Area Network) stuff. HP did absolutely nothing with SCSI Director. One of the HP guys who moved there from TranSoft e-mailed me a copy of the last version, which I have *ahem* "helped" a few others to get. Ask around and you can probably get it. ;) ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
