I recently bought a Quantum 40 meg internal disk for my MacSE from one
of those clearing houses advertised in the trade rags. Although I am
quite satisfied with it, I am curious to know why if I try to use the
"Apple HD SC Setup" utility (v2.0) to reformat the drive I get a message
informing me that no suitable drive was located on the scsi port.

So my question is: why does this not work? and would it be possible to
use the "standard" Apple drivers for this disk? I am not sure what I
mean by standard drivers, though so maybe I should ask what makes this
disk different if I bought it from Apple.
