<Sorry I'm no help with IDE macs, maybe reformat the drives as hfs+ which the 638 <can seem to see but not use, then use a formatting tool via a floppy on the 638. Another way would be to replace the cd-<rom with one of the drives you wish to <use and use the 500mb to format it, copy or install a OS on it and then swap the <500mb out and return the cd-rom.
<Just a thought, but, isn't OS 8.1 the first system that will recognize greater than a 2 Gig volume? The 8 Gig unit might <work great partitioned as 4 2 gig volumes. Or, you could try 8.1..... These were all good ideas. Unfortunately, the 8 GB now gives the Sad Mac on the 638, no matter how it is formatted. And the CD drive is SCSI, so I couldn't borrow it's connector to attach one of the hard drives. I've given up on the project for the moment and put the small drive back in. Thanks for your help, tho!
