I have an Apple II type hooked up to an Adaptec 4000 SCSI-ST506 controller
but am having trouble doing a low level format.  I have heard that I can
do it on the II by bypassing the ROM on the SCSI card... Can anyone out
there give me a hint on how I can acheive this?! 

The alternative is have one of my friends with a MAC do the low level format
then I can do the partitioningon II.  In order to do this though, I need to
find someone who has the software that will allow me to do the low level
format on a MAC.  Do any of you Net Mac users have such an animal that will
format an ST506/412 type drive through the Adaptec 4000 SCSI controller?  If
you do, PLEASE e-mail it to me, or post it to your binaries group as I would
greatly appreciate it!  Mucho thanks in advance!
