Nop! Still no go.

I even tried booting from system 5.0.2 and running the new ADU, but it
said that it can only run under system 6 or higher.

Yes I have. One point thou, the problem was there before I connected
the drive to the Mac. The problem showed when I first tried
repartitioning the drive (for the first time, after its initial
partitioning and formatting) with the new version of ADU.

I have Apple's Apple II high-speed SCSI card (607-9220) A0220LL/A.

Guess what :> I think, out of accident, I figured it out.

My system has a Pc-Transporter and I have patched Prodos to recognise
the Pc-Transporter as AEPCRAM. I had copied this patched Prodos to my
system 6.0.1 boot disk. Mainly due to the fact I have forgotten how I
did the patch.

After creating another boot disk with an ordinary Prodos and with HSF,
SCSI stuff and the genericMac driver, ADU worked and I was able to ldo
what I wanted.

Sorry for the trouble.

Why on earth would this affect the new ADU from partitioning?
