I have something called Symantec Tools 1.0. Is that the same thing? I see in the disk drive parameter volume folder three MacBottom configurations, 20/32/40. It also defines the Apple HD20 in two configurations, HD20 and SCSI. Interestingly it does not make the distinction with the MacBottom, which was also in a serial and SCSI configuration. There is no Tecmar drive.

Are you saying this utility should format these drives so they are recognized by the Mac System without dedicated mounting software? Otherwise it's kind of pointless. There's an HD Partition INIT and DA, an HFS Recover tool, but no MFS tool. The Tools are all dated early to mid 1988. The disk profiles are all dated February 1987. All well after the advent of HFS and SCSI. Though the fact it distinguishes between the SCSI and non-SCSI HD20 is a good indication it understands MFS.
