I just got a hard drive out of a mini and I tried to use this with my
Apple IIGS with a SCSI. When I tried to format the drive the drive spun and
sounded like it was formatting. Then I rebooted after the format was done and
my SCSI card said that a reformat was needed because of unknown format and I
was wondering if there are SCSI drives that use something other than 512
bytes/block and if there are what machines use these so I can tell if the
drive is fully functional.
				Thanks in advance.
