I have a Quadra 660 with a 250meg HD. I ran NetBSD and OpenBSD fine on it, but the drive was to small. I ordered three Apple SCSI drives online and I can't get them to work. I got two 2 gigs, and a 1 gig. I have the original Quadra install CD with OS 7.1 on it, the Apple SC setup won't initialize the drives, it spits out an error. It says "can't initialize error -1" I know the drives work because they all came filled with data, I was able to load the inital data on them when I received them. When I try to initialize them to partition it craps out. I tried downloading the Apple Drive Configuration Tool, but it only runs in 7.5 and above. I havn't been able to create a boot disk small enough to fit the 7.5 system folder and the Drive Config tool on it. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get these drives initialized so I can put OpenBSD on them? Is it possible that the version of SC setup doesn't support drives that large? I can see with SC setup that the drives are detected, but when I try to test or initialize them I get the errors. I can't update the driver because that option is grayed out. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Nate __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos: High-quality 4x6 digital prints for 25ยข http://photos.yahoo.com/ph/print_splash
