Well I tried the patched SC Setup but to no avail... wouldn't recognize the
drive. I did manage to get it working again though with a copy of FWB HD
Toolkit. The drive is now booting again on its own. Go figure.

Yes, I recommended the old HD SC Setup because it predates Drive Setup (HD SC
Setup was first introduced in 1986). Use HD SC Setup with System 7.1 and
earlier. Use Drive Setup with system 7.5 and later:

Any time you install Mac OS versions 7.6, 7.6.1, 8.0, 8.1, 8.5, 8.5.1, or 8.6
on your computer, you should use Drive Setup 1.7.3 to update the driver on
your hard disk again. If you are using a version of Mac OS prior to 7.6, it is
not necessary to use Drive Setup 1.7.3 to update your hard disk drive. Note
that Drive Setup 1.7.3 was tested with and is supported with System 7.5
through Mac OS 8.6.
Working on a bunch of SE/30s that all have new capacitors installed by my
housekeeper who got laid off by TRW. I'm hoping to get them all running system
7.5
The newest version of FWB, running on OS 9.1 an 8500 , I can't use the
various tests that I would like to use. FWB complains that the boot sectors
must be upgraded before I can access a disk with FWB's test routines.
If I do the FWB update my SE/30's will not mount the disk. If I use Apple's
patched disk tools to install a boot sector everything is fine except I can't
run FWB tests.
Yeah. Murphy's law comes to mind. Any ideas? I really need to do sustained
read/write tests.
