Hi all,

I've been playing with mine a bit more and I can confirm my previous results:

- It works well and reliably in the Quadra 650 with System 7.6.1. It can read, write and boot. The only software I have that is able to format it is HDT 1.3PE. Everything else refuses. Only LUN 0 works. The others are recognized by SCSIProbe, but is "not a Macintosh volume". I have no machines that have SCSI that can run System 9, so this is as far as I can go.

- The Quadra 700 could read from the disk but when I tried to write to it, the result was flaky behavior and in the end a hosed disk. It could boot from it as long as the OS was installed by the Q650. I have no idea what the reason for this is. Everything else on the Q700 works. The only minor quirk is that the internal HD is on SCSI ID 3 rather than 0.

- It doesn't work at all with the Mac Plus, and we have established that this is due to lack of SCSI termination power in the Plus.
