Did anybody in netland build a hard disk for the mac using a raw drive ?

I would like to know of anybody who did this using a seagate drive, because
they are quite cheap (got $519 for a ST277N from a mail order) and I would
like to put one of those babies in my mac II.

Is all you have to do :
	- get a raw hard disk with a scsi controler
	- get a scsi cable to connect the HD to the inside plug in the mac II 
		(staight cable)
	- get a power cable
	- get a formatter software to format the HD
	- have fun :-)

I would appreciate any help from anybody who did this.

Please answer to me directly, and I will summarize the reply and post them
to the net.
