I got a 9 GB SCSI SE drive in an external case from work, used Hard Disk

After copying over a system folder, I can't get the new drive to boot using
shift+opt+cmd+del. This technique works just fine with another external
SCSI drive that happens to be 2 GB, taken down to something like 470 MB
partitions. Any ideas?
That's a fairly modern, fast drive. Try changing the interleave when formatting to slow the disk down; use a formatting tool that allows you to target the disk for a Mac Plus (3:1 interleave). A quick search on Mac Plus will explain why. A Mac II is only twice as fast...
