Don't waste your time. This is really a lot simpler than you think. Any
normal SCSI HD will boot off of any SCSI-capable mac. Just make sure you
interleave it for a Mac Plus (usually == "use Mac Plus drivers" for most
installers) unless it has a built-in cache (most drives >=80 MBytes, except
the Seagate). If you don't do this, it should still run, but it could be as
slow as a floppy on a Mac Plus (though the SE would be a bit faster).

*DON'T* mess with multiple systems! Just install the "Regular SE System"
(or whatever Apple calls it) with Apple's standard installer program. It will
work with the plus as well.
