I have a great many desktop macs <grin>. I've put in a drive from an old
LC that's been lying around for years. Didn't reformat it, just cleared it
off and then installed System 6.0.7 and all the gubbins - I'm getting to be
a dab hand at this! All seems hunky dory at the moment...Monday morning's
cold restart will tell!!!

If I recall Apple's Drive Setup couldn't do anything with the original
drive - I think it had been formatted with a 3rd party product previously,
so a program like Lido was recommended.
