That's an Quantum ProDrive ELS

says it is IDE.

Looks like a SCSI HD to me. Are there a set of resisters underneath on the circuit board next to the 50 pin SCSI connection? Those older drives had resisters for termination so you don't need an external terminator (if they are still installed on the drive).

I think there were resistors indeed, but they have been removed.

Find some old mac formatting programs like Micronet 7.x or Lido to format the drive.

:-/

And where would i be able to find that?...
