I have done this to HD SC Setup, but in both instances the setup failed, even though HDSCC could find the drive. The string you are modifying is compared against the return from an INQUIRY command. Unfortunately, this says nothing about the correct Mode Select command blocks, or Format command block. It appears in HDSCC 2.0 that there are tables for these, also. But I have not tried to go any further. If you can initialize the drive for a Mac, with any number of partitions, you can re-partition under A/UX. It's just the initial formatting that gets you. (unless you want a Mac partition on the drive, too -- if this is a secondary drive you may not...) Marc Kaufman (kaufman@polya.stanford.edu)
