Mac LC and DB15 to VGA adapter problem...

You should use the proper floppy to format the drive and install a new system (floppy #2 disk drive utilities IIRC)

I used disk tool floppy disk. 
i checked again what brane and model hdd is

this is a fujitsu hdd

https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/hard-drives-hdd/fujitsu/M2682SAM-353MB-3-5-SL-SCSI2-FAST.html

i have a configuration as on photo. Can You check is that is correct?

#2 disk has more possibilities with hdd operations than disk tool?

I also checked a ram. Mac is working with 2MB onboard ram. Two Sims that I have are 2x 1MB unfortunately. Then I have to find 2x2 or 2x4MB .

The tool you want is called HD SC Setup, and it's on the Disk Tools disk (that's what it's called in English, I'm afraid I don't know what it's called in Polish, but it's probably very similar).

You may need a patched version to see non-Apple drives.  I have a patched Disk Tools disk with that on that I can send you, if it would be useful.

I am afraid your SCSI disk is probably not supported by the LC

CNH1 11-12 SCSI level
----------------------
x 11-12 CLOSED SCSI-2 mode
OPEN SCSI-1 / CCS mode




Will probably won't work, only the SCSI SE (single ended) is playing fine with this type of machines, everything else is hit or miss:

If there is a chance that the power to the HDD containing the
terminating resistor will be turned off, design the system so that
power to the terminating resistor (TERMPWR) is supplied from another
SCSI device. Generally, TERMPWR is supplied from the initiator
(host).

SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 aren't incompatible. Older Macs can communicate with any non-differential SCSI drive so long as they're cabled properly and terminated properly. For example, I'm using a 70 gig 2.5" 320 MB/sec SCA SCSI drive with an LC III+ without any issues, but the SCA adapter had to have termination on it.

Look for a program called SCSIProbe, perhaps.

I will check this one. Maybe it will work. I afraid that it will very hard to find working scsi 1 hdd.

There are still quite a number of them around.  They're not that rare :) .

If worst comes to worst, when the Arduino SCSI thing is finished, that will be a low-cost low-performance option to play with.

sorry, somehow I change post, but I don't know why my reply was placed on the other topic... :)

I am starting test scsi-1 mode on my hdd, cross fingers :)
