I'm not sure if this technique still works with the new HD Setup program,
but the following USED to work. First, you have to find out the complete device
ID using something like SCSI Tools. The ID will look something like:

Quantuum P105S 910-10-99X

There are several strings in the HD Setup program that represent the "legal"
drives that the program will attempt to format. Using your favorite disk or
resource editor, substitute your ID for one of the Apple-supplied ones that
most closely matches the size of your drive.

I was able to do this about 2 years ago to get HD Setup to format a 3rd party
80 meg Quantuum. I can't promise that the technique still works. You might
want to consider getting a copy of SilverLining...
