I used PC SCSI drives in Macs lots of time without any problems. However I think there can be a problem with drives that have come out of (I think) Compaq servers. Something they do to them means they won't always work in another machine PC or Mac. I think its some sort of low level format. I've also heard of very old drives that have had the same data on them fore years can have some sort of a memory effect, where the data can't be erased from them and thus the drives can't be reformatted. With all SCSI drives though, some like being on certain SCSI ID's better than others. Try them one at a time until you get one recognised.
