An idea I had that might help using troublesome drives on the macintosh.
It should not be hard with the source to SF&I to add an option that will
simply write the driver to the selected disk assuming the disk to have been
formatted. This would allow troublesome disks to be formatted elsewhere and
then have the mac driver loaded. This would also allow use on optical
drives which are never formatted (they are hard sectored)
