The contemporary Apple HDD utility (available in the link that I gave above) also 'chooses' the appropriate interleave for the Plus (3:1), SE (2:1) and faster SCSI ports (1:1) subliminally. If the drive has already been formatted with another brand of utility/driver, only a hacked Apple utility (from gamba's site) will do the job of 'taking over' the drive from the non-Apple utility.

As Charlieman notes, Macs with 1:1-capable ports don't find it easy to cope with 3:1- and 2:1-formatted drives, so setup has to take place with the Mac that will use the HDD concerned. There is another current thread in these Forums dealing with the matter.
