They MUST be formatted as HFS, not as HFS+, if you're using System 7 (any version) - I'm not sure about 6. System 7 can handle exactly 4GB drives or partitions - should work. This can be done with an 'old world' Mac preferably. I've taken apart an old SCSI drive to use the external 25pin to internal 50pin for this. Let the Finder do the formatting. Start ut up with the cmd.-opt.-P-R command for refreshing the PRAM. Check the battery. Start it up with cmd.-opt.-shift-del. for external drives from CD, Syquest, Zip, MO, format and load a fresh system with the suitable enabler. Check this out on the Apple site, maybe on the everymac.com. Viel Erfolg !
