        This is the stage that has now been arrived at:- 
Quantum 540 MB SCSI drive purchased today from an IBM dealer, therefore
no set-up disks supplied to help with the Mac IIcx      :-(
Paid �54 plus VAT = �63.45 , hope it was worth it       :-) 
        The operating system floppy disks won't do anything to it.
        Norton disk doctor sees it exists, but as an unknown quantity.
I think you are right in that some sort of formatter is needed. 
        Further suggestions welcomed.
                Thanks,
