Technically Reclined Netlanders:

I have a 20Meg SH204 Atari Hard disk.  I want to upgrade it to a 40Meg SH204.

My understanding so far is:
    * there is a host adapter in the shoebox with a SCSI edge connector
    * I should be able to hook up "any" SCSI disk to that host adapter

I tried hooking one up last night, but Supra nor Atari's formatting
software wanted anything to do with it.

What I am unsure of is the following:
    ? What sort of software (whose) will be required to format the thing?
    ? What SCSI ID should the drive be set to?
    ? Does anybody have any experience with doing this? What drive did they
      use? Software?

Any replies (EMail or otherwise) would be greatly appreciated.
