Message-ID: Date: 20 May 91 02:03:29 GMT Sender: news@husc6.harvard.edu Distribution: comp Organization: Harvard Chemistry Department Lines: 26 I have a Rodime 105Mb drive that is currently formatted with the Rodime software. (My cpu is a Mac IIci.) My problem is that Apple HD SC Setup from the Disk Tools floppy in System 7.0 won't recognize my hard drive! More specifically, when it starts up it searches for SCSI devices and finds none. I had heard that Apple HD SC Setup 7.0 would recognize third-party drives. I am not sure whether recognition of the HD is a function of: * hardware type (drive brand) * SCSI cabling and termination * software used to format drive * drivers installed Even if you can't solve my problem, I'd be interested in knowing more about the second, more general question. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance! --Tom P.S. Yes, I am booting from the Disk Tools floppy. -- Tom Ngo ngo@harvard.harvard.edu 617/495-1768 lab number, leave message
