Good point. Tried the Drive Setup apps on the MacOS 8 and 9.1 disks, no dice there... (OS8 isn't HFS+ anyway, 9.1 caused an error, obviously doesn't support 680x0 architecture). Downloaded and tried Drive Setup v.1.7.2 from Gamba's site... still nothing... tried the "see anything that spins" AU/X version, that bombed the machine out instantly.
