OK now this is getting beyond a joke. I have substituted the 2GB Seagate for a 512MB Fujitsu unit. The drive once again formatted fine and even accepted 3:1 interleave. Again it mounts fine on a floppy boot and will read/write with no problems. I copied a 6.0.8 system folder to it and it does exactly the same as the other drive did - on boot the Plus scans for liable boot files, looks on both floppies, then the hard disk and then locks up on the disk/? screen (mouse still moves). Putting in a boot floppy makes no odds at this point - reset is the only option.
Should I now try an Apple ROM'd drive? Is my SCSI Dead? I find it hard to believe it could be as it seems to work at any other time than boot!
