Success!!!!  One CAN NOT format the drives on the IIgs in my

formatted and partitioned on a Mac with SCSI using  2 different

day on it yesterday and finally found a solution!  Using the Jaz now!
I anyone needs  disks formatted and partitioned, just mail them to me
with # and size of partitions and HFS or ProDos and I'll work on them
and return ready to go.    Will run about $5 per cartridge plus
postage - fair enough?  (takes 30 minutes  per 1GB cartridge)

That's terrific news.  I can't wait to try it myself.  Two questions:
1) What size HFS partitions did you make? Will the IIGS recognize Jaz partitions above 100 MB? 
2) What SCSI card are you using; RamFast or Apple?
