I have an old (about 2.5 year) Jasmine Direct Drive 50 (back when
they still had metal cases).  It works fine with my Mac+, but
I'd like to use it on a II or SE/30.  Neither of these machines
seem to recognize the drive.  I understand that I would have
to reformat it.  What do I use to do this?  Will my vintage
Jasmine formatting software work?  How can I get the more
current Jasmine formatting software, now that Jasmine has gone
bubbly bubbly?  Can some kind soul email or ftp it to me?  What
will happen if I try to use Apple's formatting software on this
drive?
    By the way, this drive has given me 2.5 years of reliable
service without interruption.  It survived two moves (including
a transatlantic one to sweden), and even being plugged into
an incorrectly phased transformer (which blew the shunt resistors).
