[comp.sys.mac.hardware] hard drive solution

Hi,

I posted a message a while back asking about how to get a Mac SE to see a
new Maxtor 96M drive at boot time.

Thank you for all of your answers...  Here's the result...

The Mac looks for a driver on the HD.  If there is no suitable driver, than
the Mac can't boot off of the HD.  I had to buy a program that formats disks
and installs a Mac driver.

I bought
	96Mb Maxtor Lxt-100s with 27ms seek time, voice coil.	$299.00
	IME Computers
	1340 Soldiers Field Road
	Boston, MA  02135
	(617) 254-1700, FAX (617) 254-0392

and a copy of
	Disk Manager Mac from Ontrack Computer Systems Inc.
	I bought it through IME computers...			$19.00

I hope this helps for the people who sent me mail saying they had the
same problems...
