There is a blurb in the "Tip Sheet" of the May, 1989 issue of
MacUser, p. 197, on how to modify HD SC Setup to recognize a
drive.  Unfortunately, you have to have a drive matching the
size of one of the supported manufacturers.  For example, I 
hacked 'Setup to recognize my 330 meg Wren as a Quantum, and
sure enough it decided it was 80 meg.
