Wanted: Hard-to-find SCSI utilities

[emailDELETE@davidjayne.com (David Jayne)]

Hi everybody, new to the group. Well, new to posting in it anyway. Been 
lurking for a bit.

OK, so a couple years ago I bought a Woz IIgs on ebay and now finally have 
the room to set it up. I was way into the //e back in the heyday of the 
mid-80's, but I've been out of the Apple II world for a long time. It feels 
really good to work with an Apple II again after so many years.

Anyway, my GS came with this bizarro SCSI card made by Crate Technology. 
It's marked like so:

    CRATE TECHNOLOGY     
    IIGS ASSY 10104 REV  
        S/N

A big chip in the center has a sticker that says "CRATE U5" (that's five, 
not 'S').

The hard drive I'm trying to use it with, a Seagate ST-277N in a MacCrate 
case, seems to have problems. I can write to it all day, no problem. But 
when I try to read I start getting errors. It could be the card, but I 
figure the drive is more likely so I'll rule it out first.

Anyway, I'd like to be able to try a low-level format or just to be able to 
replace the drive, but of course I can't find the SCSI Utilities for this 
card anywhere.

On a longshot I tried some CMS Utilities. They detected the card as a CMS 
with the 11/9/87 ROM but they were the utilties for the 3/1/90 ROM and 
therefore wouldn't work. So I don't know, maybe it was built for Crate by 
CMS. Doesn't resemble any of the CMS cards I've heard of (there aren't a 
million jumpers) but then maybe I've just never heard the really old ones 
described. It does seem to behave like an old CMS card from what I've heard 
of them. I did find a mention of this card way back when in this very 
group:

http://groups.google.com/groups?th=3fa4beba47883fbe

That post also features an ASCII diagram of the entire card with all chip 
numbers listed if anybody wants that much detail.

So anyway, do any of you good people know where I can find tools for either 
the Crate Technology card described above or perhaps the 11/9/87 CMS card? 
I've searched all the usual places (Ground, Asimov, Caltech, UMich....) and 
come up with nothing. Any advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated. 

At the very least I should be able to format and partition a drive on a 
more modern computer and plug it back into the GS, right?

Thanks.
