Sorry for the delay, I only see my e-mail M-F.

Humm..  No actually your set-up looks very close to mine.  I am running
System 7.0.1 and the Apple HD setup came from a sumex site as I recall.
I've never seen a version of Apple HD setup that would recognize anything
but "Apple" drives (ie. Quantum).

This seems strange to me as I have had vurtually no problems with using the
SyQuest drive.

Has anything changed recently w/ the Mac Side Utils??  My utils, except for
the booter are pritty old, possibly close to 2 years when I got them.

If you cann't find the patched HD setup through Archie let me know I can pack
mine up and send it to you if you'd like.
