I guess so but as I never had any of these models in my hands ... I don't want to write something wrongI guess this would also work in a Quadra 800

Confirmed on this other auction with the same drive in a 840 AV :I guess this would also work in a Quadra 800
@MrFahrenheit @olePigeon which one below is the right 640MB drive for 68K macs?
Fujitsu MCP3064SS
Fujitsu MCC3064SS
Can't tell what the difference is.
Which OS version do you use ?Hmm, having some issues trying to use 2.3GB disks. This is on my Fujitsu MCR-3230SS.
I got a 230 LaserByte, 230 Sony, and 640 Sony from @olePigeon and those work great. No issues.
Picked up five 2.3GB Fujitsu branded disks from eBay. I am having issues with those. When I insert the disk, there's drive activity (LED is lit) and it's doing something for a long time, minutes. It finally gets to an error saying it cannot read the disk and asks me if I want to initialize. I then choose yes, and then it does more stuff for a long time, but then says it cannot initialize the disk and says to try the formatter. The Fujitsu formatter won't even see the disk. The Pinnacle formatter sees the disk and tries to format it. But after it finishes, complains of an error and says the disk is bad. Note even with the Pinnacle formatter, when I insert a disk, it takes a few minutes for the tool to see it. I have tried 2 of the 5 disks and both have the same issue. I guess I can try the other three but thought I'd check here first if I'm missing something.
I've tried the MO Extension from Fujitsu (2.3.8) and the Pinnacle (3.3.0). Also tried the Fujitsu formatter as well as the Pinnacle one.
Which OS version do you use ?
Using my BlueSCSI, I had problem while trying initializing a fake 2GB drive. I had to change the size to 2000 MB. If you read a specific doc, it’s written that it supports only 2000 MB.Using System 7.5.5. This is on a IIfx. I believe 7.5+ can handle up to 4GB?
I hope you get better soon @olePigeon !@jmacz Once I've recovered from COVID, I'd be happy to lend you one of my 2.3GB disks. Or I can try one of yours in my drive. Rule out the drive or disk as the issue.
It is possible that partitions got messed up.@MrFahrenheit ok will try but I had the same issue on a 68040 quadra 800 running macos 8. But perhaps the IIfx already messed them up?
