OK, today's update, of sorts. I found out why I can only get this to work in 7.0.1. It's because of the "Mount Everything" control panel. It's system 7 only :( . The drive is there under 6, but I have no way to partition or format it without it being mounted. Using "Mount Everything"'s driver, the disk survives reboots, but not power off's. Once I power off, gotta mount it again and then it's there for the duration.

BTW, also plodded thru the space issue. Had to format it to "50% MacIntosh" (1GB) and the drive works normally. Put system 7 on it and booted from it repeatedly (just no shutdown!). MAN, that's fast! :grin:

Gamba's got some low level formatters on his sight. Will they put the "on disk driver" code or whatever on the drive so that I can cold boot from it? If that's the problem.
