It's newer. Made for OS 8. Google for a formatter called Lido 7.56. Use it to partition the 6 gigger to 3-two gig partitions. Install your OS on the first partition and use the other two for apps. You can also format the drive with your HDSC Tools (7.5.3) if you remember to partition it into three, two gig drives. Add a System folder, (7.5.3?), and then go on to reboot it. Once you get there, try re-partitioning it to the full 6 gigs. If you see success, go on and add you OS and programs. Jeff G -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
