I'd recommend that you get a copy of La Cie, Ltd's "SilverLining 5.2".  I 
have used it to initialize darn near any type of Hard drive there is ( am 
currently running a Wren II 43 Meg ST-412  interface drive with an SMS 
OMTI 3105 ST-412 to SCSI Controller ). The software has excellent 
documentation and allows you to format, initialize and hard partition 
(i.e. - no special INIT for partition mounting), test, map out bad blocks 
etc.

SilverLining can only be bought through La Cie ( at a cost of 
approximately $90, I believe ).

Their Address is:

     La Cie, Ltd.
     16285 SW 85th #306
     Tigard, OR  97724
   
        Tel # (503) 684-0143

I hope you find this information useful. Don't Email to me please, I don't 
yet have an Email address.
