I found that ADU v1.2 will not partition this drive, I remembered that
it was initially partitioned with ADU v1.1, so tried it. ADU v1.1
repartitioned the drive, but having the GenericScsi file from ADU v1.2
in the system/drive folder did not work. The GenEx program produces an
error "file does not have a resource" when I try to extract the
GenericScsi file from ADU v1.1.

I managed to connect the drive to an adaptec 1515 on a 486 running dos
6 and win 3.x. Where I partitioned it, used it, then reconnected to
the Apple2gs and the apple 2gs partitioning and file format was still
avialable. This is one tought HARD drive.

Any other advise will be very welcomed.
