This should be old news, but it isn't. Mac SEs still are shipping with
HD SC 1.3 on their disks (at least, the Macs that I got 10 days ago
had this; I don't know what today's group had in the box).
HD SC 1.3 will NOT work on many Mac SE drives. That's why they
rushed out HD SC 1.4 to dealers, schools, etc. Get a copy of
this update from your favorite update source (it is free) and
boot your SE with it; run the application, and choose "Update"
to fix the SCSI drive on your disk. End of problem.
As I understand it, there are 2 sources for SE disks; HD 1.2
only worked with one after the manufacturer changed production
slightly. So (with predictable results) they quickly fixed
their program, producing 1.3, leading to....
Bit rot. It's all bit rot.
