I bought a Quantum 105MB drive from MacLand, and I'm
not completely thrilled with the formatting software
they send out with it (the software comes from a
company called CRU).

Does anyone know if it would work to patch HDSetup so
it would recognize this drive and deal with it?  And if
so, can you tell us how to do it?

The guy at MacLand said you can edit one of the model
number strings in the HDSetup code segment to be the
string you get back from the drive when you use SCSI
Probe.  This makes HDSetup recognize the drive, but he
couldn't be sure whether HDSetup would work correctly
with it thereafter.

Thanks.
