I own that utility in my pile of floppies, I think. I fear the problem is with 
the Conner hard drive, which are nearly all
not well enough made for use all these years away from their dates of 
manufature. But all possibilities have to be run
through until the one that finds the true reason for the drive being invisible 
is uncovered.

If the hard drives you're trying to use were in newer
Macs, then that can cause an unseen hard drive.

That's only for old drives that don't have onboard cache RAM. Somewhere out 
there is an old formatting utility with selections for Mac Plus at 4:1, SE at 
2:1 and 1:1 for all others.

Formatting a drive with a cache at anything other than 2:1 interleave can make 
its read and write performance slower.
