hmm.. I'm having a bit of trouble with this. It is a Seagate ST39216N 14384 cyl, 3 heads and I've tried a number of formatters which all crash out after about 20 mins, the HD access LED flashes merrily away and eventually the little Mac comes up with "address error" and freezes.
I've tried the Apple HD SC formatter(7.3.5) with that patch (to ignore Apple HD only), Lido 7.56 which doesn't run properly (sees the drive but won't go any further) but maybe I don't have the INIT thing set up right (I moved it into the Extentions folder but that caused other probs), and a "Blue Disk Manager" formatter program, all do the same. I did use interleave of 3 then 1 but all do the same.
I have set the drive to scsi addy 2, no termy for which I have an external termy attached, the scsi cable is about 30" (800mm) but of unknown quality, maybe I need to check termy power I did check and the Classic does supply 5V, and set the HD to "TP from buss"
Gee
