  I couldn't get System 5.0 to recognize my SCSI HD either when I first
tried just dragging the driver to the drivers folder, but Copy II Plus,
Appleworks, etc. continued to recognize it.  Eventually I gave up an
used the Installer, which was a pain in the neck because it seemed to
require certain specific names for specific disks and I seem to remember
renaming a few disks a couple of times to get things to work right.

  It would be much easier if Apple included a read.me file telling which
files were needed where for what.
