I'd thought of that this morning (the termination issue), since the computer wouldn't even boot from a floppy with the LaCie connected. After transferring the terminating resistors from the old drive to the newer one, the LC II booted from the floppy but still refused to see the disk.
I've been trying to work on getting the patched version all day, but I can only find SEA files of the Drive Setup utility, and the floppy drive on the LC II has a minor problem: it sees all disks as locked (there's a broken pin I need to fix). So I can't extract the archive to use Drive Setup in the first place. If somebody could send me a bootable .dsk floppy image with a patched version of drive setup, I would be eternally grateful! I have a PC with HFV explorer on it that could write the image onto a floppy I could use in the LC II.
