First drive is a Hitatchi U320 146GB SCA-2 80pin drive with adapter system completely fails to notice it tried different cables passive passthrough terminators active termination using my external enclosure completely invisible to the mac.
A drive that new will have absolutely no backwards compatibility beyond Ultra160 SCSI.

Drive 2 Seagate ST34501W 68Pin drive attached using a 50 to 68 pin adapter on the logicboard drive is recongized but reports capacity as 0MB, 0 blocks HDT and Linux report  Medium Error Medium format corrupt.
Use another formatting utility. A patched copy of Drive Setup should work with anything.

Drive 3 IBM DDRS-34560 68pin drive also recongized by system reports proper capacity 4.5GB but again HDT and Linux report Medium Error Medium format corrupt.
Same as above, also take it from me that I have no faith that a Linux formatting utility will reliably make an HFS volume.
