At http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/R028LCCARD.htm (maintained by Phil
Beesley) I found:

 The version of "Apple HD SC Setup" supplied on the "Apple IIe Startup
Disk" will only work with
 Apple brand hard disks. A patch utility is available which modifies
"Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5" to
 work with non-Apple disks. Information on the patch can be found at
 http://www.euronet.nl/users/ernstoud/patch.html.

Patching HD SC Setup 7.3.5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All versions of Apple's HD SC Setup program only recognize Apple
supplied SCSI harddisks. The reason for this is not totally clear;
most likely it is because Apple does not want to be bothered with
people asking support when they cannot get an obscure brand of
harddisk working.
However, it is a nuisance. Sometimes it might be advisable to use
Apple's disk drivers (put on the disk with HD SC Setup) since these
might work best with the latest release of the SCSI Manager.

During the last years a number of people have come up with patches for
the various HD SC Setup versions. Some of these work, some don't. The
best one I have found follows. I have picked this one since it patches
HD SC Setup 7.3.5 (which is the latest version, found to work well
with SCSI Manager 4.3), using ResEdit 2.1.3 by altering just one (!)
