Doesn't surprise me...  I bought a 4-gig Seagate and to this day can't 
get Apple's toold to even RECOGNIZE it.  I went and bought FormatterPro 
which installs its own SCSI driver, then creates a partition map and 
everything works out fine.  I'd be happy to give you FormatterPro, but I 
doubt it's public domain.

Which version?  Which patches?  I have several.

Well, get out your nice little disk "nibble" editor...

Probably because there isn't a Mac partition map on the disk.  Mine came 
IBM formatted w/ IBM partition maps.  Mac don't like that.  I couldn't 
write to mine either until I formatted it w/ FPro...

No problem.  Hey, if you do solve this problem, let me know, cause I'm 
gonna buy a Zip (when I get lots of money).  :)
