Henk and Marcel, I may be interpreting your information
incorrectly , but I think there are two problems with using
Apple HD SC Setup:  first, it won't recognize a mounted device,
and second, since you've probably got version 1.3, it looks for
Apple's signature in the drive's ROM.  Try getting version 1.1;
that should work.
