Patched Apple HD SC setup - please hook me up!

[Byrd]

Hi,

could someone please point me to a working download of the patched Apple HD SC setup that lets you format non-Apple firmware SCSI drives? Had a ball looking for but no luck yet, and I'm rubbish with ResEdit.

Put a Quantum Fireball 1GB into my SE/30 and I've love to wipe it to start again

Thanks

Put AU/X on it. It should happily blam the disk.

Maybe not - I just want a quick and fuss-free blank HD to install System 7.1 onto

System 7.1 onto

But it's an SE/30, it's crying out for AU/X. It'll even look like 7.1.

Try this link here, which is a SIT package that contains:

-Disk First Aid

-Drive Setup

-patched HD SC Setup

-Lido

-Blue Disk Manager

However, I would use Lido instead (included in that package) because it is a much more reliable formatting tool.

Thank you JRL - just what I was after

I might try AUX one day ... but since it's been so long without a working B&W in my stable I think I'll get down to business first: Shufflepuck Cafe, Crystal Quest and CyberBlast

All of which will run on A/UX - the best bit!

I didn't know there were any SCSI Quantum Fireballs that weren't compatible with Apple's HD SC Setup. Are you sure the one you put in requires the hacked version of the app?

 

[Byrd]

I'm not 100% sure it's a Fireball specifically, maybe ProDrive? Either way, no it's not detected. The HD came from a PPC 7300, IIRC.
