. | Drive Compatibility:
Drive Setup 1.6 Apple has released Drive Setup 1.6 for use with Mac OS
8.5 and PowerPC-based Macs. We'll assume drives compatible
with 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5 are also compatible with 1.6 --
exceptions will be listed as discovered. It is possible that
some previously incompatible drives will work with 1.6. If
you have a drive to add, please email
me. Apple does note that they are "unable to fully test or
support issues that may arise from [non-Apple] hard
drives." (TIL
article 30572) As of Drive Setup 1.6, I am only listing incompatible
drives. Incompatible Drives, Drive Setup

1.3 - NOTE: If you have a Centris 610 or Quadra 610 with a
non-Apple drive formatted with Silverlining, read
about a significant problem with Silverlining.
Drive Setup 1.3, which works on 68040- and PowerPC-based
Macs, is the first to broadly support third-party hard
drives. Drive Setup 1.3 should work with all Apple brand
hard drives, but Apple doesn't maintain a list of compatible
third-party drives. Following is a list of drives tested and
found compatible or incompatible with this software. Drives
are SCSI unless otherwise noted. (Thanks to Mac managers and
others who have contributed their findings. If you have a
drive to add, please email
me. This list is only a guide. Changes during the course of a
drive's manufacturing life may mean your drive differs from
those tested. The Low End Mac makes no promises about any
specific drive mechanism's compatibility with Drive Setup
1.3. Ernst J. Oud has a page explaining how to patch
Drive Setup using ResEdit so it will work with any
drive. (This patch is not supported by Apple; use it at your
own risk.) - UPDATE, October 6, 1997: Apple has released
Drive Setup 1.3.1. This update specifically addresses
problems with EDI drives in a limited number of models.
There seems to be no advantage to the new version for
SCSI drives. For now, I'll assume the same drives are
compatible. Dan Knight, webmaster
Compatible Drives, Drive Setup 1.3 Conner DEC - RZ26 (These drives are normally intended for UNIX
& Ultrix systems, and do not spin up when power is
applied due to a hardware lockout. When Drive Setup 1.3
scans the SCSI bus they spin up though. You then have to
initialize & mount them. -Tripp Frasch)
IBM - DORS-32160
- Ultrastor 2XP DCHS-09W (tested w/1.3.1)
- WDS-3 160S
Micropolis - 4410 1GB drive
- Stinger 4743NS
Quantum - Atlas II XP32275W

- Empire 1080s
Seagate - Medalist 1.2GB IDE (tested w/1.3.1)
- ST-31200N
- ST-31276A (series number ST3LA1 36)
- ST-52160N
Incompatible Drives, Drive Setup 1.3 - Many users have reported problems with IDE drives to
MacFixIt. If your
Mac has an IDE hard drive, be sure to check there before
using Drive Setup 1.3.
Fujitsu Quantum - Fireball 540S
- Fireball 1080
- Fireball SE 4 Gig
- Fireball TM1700A
- Fireball TM2110S300N
- Fireball TM3200S300N
- Lightning 730S
Seagate - Caution: Drive Setup 1.3 should not be used on any
drive that will be used on a 68000-, 68020-, or
68030-based computer. (Drive Setup will not run on any of
these Macs unless you play with the Gestalt settings.

J. Oud's page.)
