What WAS Apple thinking...? tsk tsk.
It can be found in one of the HD SC Setup disk images here: home.earthlink.net/~gamba2 I have used it to format a 4 GB HP disk, but unfortunately I could not boot System 7.0 from it. 7.5.3 worked fine, though. I suppose this is because of the driver that the patched HD SC Setup installs. For this reason, booting A/UX from harddisk would initially fail, but replacing the system software on the A/UX Boot partition with a minimal 7.5.3 install would solve this problem, even though it is normally not recommended to upgrade the A/UX Boot partition's system software :-) Daan. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
