Pieter,

I bought a 850Mb Quantum Trailblazer that would not format with the
Apple HD Setup. I bought MacPeak's "Spot On" for 10 UK pounds. It worked
OK.

I got it from MacLine in the UK. The old company has gone. The only
reference I have is http://www.macline.ltd.uk/ . It worked about a month
back. You will have to ask them if they still sell it.

Depending on what your MacOS version is there is an old patch for
Apple's HD Setup 7.2.2. This allows it to work with non-Apple HDs. I
can't remember where I got it. I can email it if you need it. Of course
you may need the above version too, which may not work with HDs over
2GB. Sorry but I have not tried it, as yet. It does not patch my old
version of HD Setup, as it is more recent.

Good luck!
