Oh? Did Apple finally start making HD SC Setup work with drives that don't
have the special string in the mode sense data that tells it that the drive
is a genuine Apple drive, rather than the exact same drive (except for the
mode sense data) bought at about half the price from someone else?

(If they still do have that restriction, get the A/UX version of HD SC
Setup.  It works with non-Apple drives).
