Leo,

I had a similar problem when I tried to get my IIsi (System 6.0.7) to read an
Ehman disk that worked fine with my Mac Plus (6.0.3).

I finally used a new disk formatting utility (which I had ordered from UniStor
for A/UX partitioning) and "updated the drivers."  That did the trick -- I
guess the Ehman drivers on the disk don't work with the new system or new
hardware....

This also gave me a spiffier looking hard disk icon, by the way.

I first tried the "Update" command from the Apple HD Setup utility, but of
course it did not recognize my off-brand disk.

Updating the drivers takes about 3 seconds and doesn't require reformatting, so
try that if you can find something compatible with your hardware.
