When you format a drive on a PowerMac, using Drive Setup for example, you may get a disk driver that is for PowerMacs only. It is best to format a drive on the kind of Mac (and version of System software) where you intend to use it. Also, external drives are typically not terminated, while the first internal drive must be terminated in most Macs. Get a disk tools floppy for the IIsi and verify that it boots. Then add the SCSI Probe control panel. It gives you a quick indication of "bus not terminated". You will also want a modified version of Apple HD SC Setup (to support non-Apple drives) or a 3rd party formatter like SilverLining. http://katsmacs.blogspot.com/ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
