I recently bought a Quantum 40 meg internal disk for my MacSE from one of those clearing houses advertised in the trade rags. Although I am quite satisfied with it, I am curious to know why if I try to use the "Apple HD SC Setup" utility (v2.0) to reformat the drive I get a message informing me that no suitable drive was located on the scsi port. So my question is: why does this not work? and would it be possible to use the "standard" Apple drivers for this disk? I am not sure what I mean by standard drivers, though so maybe I should ask what makes this disk different if I bought it from Apple. -Leonardo

Apple uses their own firmware with their Quantums that is only recognized by HD Setup.
