Don't mount or switch on the external hard disk- just start your MacPortable- when the system is running, switch on your external hard disk, wait a little bit until the hard disk is ready (wait approx. 20 -30 sec.) Then open your HDT Toolkit- HDT "sees" all connected hard disks- don't mount it! Then you can do a low level format (with an Interleave factor 3, if possible)- after the LLF has been completed, initialize your hard disk. I have installed my System 7.1 on the Lisa hard disk using my MacPortable, but only choose the following option: installation for Macintosh Plus! That is very important! Or you choose: minimum software for Macintosh Plus( only if you don't want to have all features of System 7.1. After the installation , the Lisa should start fine from your fresh installed System 7.1 (or 6.0.x etc.) > > So the good news is the SCSI card seems to be working (I mounted the > drive once at least), I just need to figure out the formatting I think. > Now you know how to do it. But it would be even better to use older HDT verions: 1.7, 1.7.5 or 1.8. HDT 4.5 always installs a bigger "fat" hard disk driver to be compatible with PowerMacs, unnecessarily consuming memory. Even Silverlining 4.x or Ontrack Disk manager Mac 4.x are ok.
