There is a 4GB limit on 7.5.0, true. But the limit was raised in 7.5.2: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA28860
And this is another reason my previous post recommended formatting on a newer SCSI Mac, which most likely would be running some flavor of OS 8 or even OS 9, definitely ensuring no large volume ceiling would get in the way of formatting the 9GB drive. For truly, if you've got a modern SCSI Mac running OS 9 and if you cannot format a 9GB drive on that newer Mac, then there is likely a termination problem or the drive mechanism is suspect.
