I have a Tulin 50Mb hard drive with an Adaptec ACB4000A controller
board, and one thing I noticed but was never able to figure out was
why the Apple HD SC Setup program never could see it -- whenever I ran
the program, it told me something like `no suitable devices found
connected to the SCSI port.' I figured this was because the hard
drive's driver was incompatible.
Well, I heard the Apple HD SC Setup program that comes with System 7.0
is compatible with third-party drives, now, and a thorough check of
the System 7.0 Reference book found no mention that it was only for
Apple drives or anything. So I tried running this latest version of
the program right after I updated my hard drive's driver with
Silverlining (which I understood was compatible with the HD Setup
program).
It still couldn't find my drive. What am I not seeing here? Is it
just that my drive isn't capable of doing whatever it is that the HD
Setup program modifies the driver to do, or have I just not found the
right driver yet (and if not, then where should I look)?
Apologies if I'm being vague -- I've never really understood what the
HD Setup program is supposed to do. Can anyone Enlighten me on that
point?
advThanks,

I figured this was because the hard >drive's driver was incompatible. Apple's program has a hard coded list of drives it will format built into the program. I have gone into it with ResEdit on several occasions to add drive names. Of course, just adding the drive name doesn't necessarily ensure it is going to work...
