Carved out some time after work this morning to try some more things out.
Yes, I was aware of the Apple-branded drive issue with HD SC Setup. I'm using a "patched" version that did see the drive .... once I booted into 7.0.1. :I All this time, I had thought it was ok to run that under 6.0.7. *sigh* I used SCSI Tools while under 6.0.7 and saw the SCSI id being used. Also found out it wasn't the ID I had thought it was using! The Quantum was not visible under SCSI Tools though, so I'm with you: drive just took a dumpy dump. I last used it some 2-3 years ago, so I don't doubt that it's gone.
Under System 7.0.1, I was able to see and format the new IBM branded drive using "Mount Everything" and "SCSI Format and Install". "Mount Everything" is system 7 only though, hence why it wasn't working under the 6.0.7 boot disk. [i actually read the instructions first, but glossed over that fact for about 30 minutes, for whatever reason.]
Soooooo, the IBM is on ID 0. Got it mounted and recognized by 7.0.1. Had to use SCSI Format and Install's hard drive driver to make it visible. After formatting though, the finder said I had 2.1GB free, but I couldn't copy anything to it. It said I needed 2.1GB more space! hehehe Sooooo, I'm guessing that on-drive driver needs some tweaking. I have *NOT* read the entire instruction manual for SCSI Format and Install, so bear with me another night, please. At present, don't know what I did, but the drive isn't viewable under System 6 or 7 again. Needed to get some sleep, so I'll give it another try tonight or this weekend.
For those stumbling on this in the future: http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/tidbits.html
Gamba's got a great site with links and explanations of a LOT of stuff that you need to know for a lot of problems, not just hard drive stuff. BUT, the hard drive section has been invaluable to me!
So, next on the list is to find/get a copy of ResEdit and patch up my System 6.0.7 HD Setup. I don't mind 7, but my "core" software setup has been 6.0.7. Don't want to upset the boat, yet.
If I can't get the drive "Found" under 6.0.7, then I'll download the 7.5.3 disks and use the patched HD Setup I have to initialize the drive again.
