This may be wrong information and some one may jump in and
correct me but it may work for you.

You may be able to Fdisk and Format the drive using a
Win95/95 boot disk. If not then you will have to get a SCSI
formatting program such as Adaptec's SCSIFMT.EXE which you
can D/L from this link:

http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/common/searchresults.html?B
V_SessionID=@@@@1241980090.1059864751@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccgad
cimliidefcekkcfjfdgjldffo.0&language=English+US&Action=Searc
h&SearchPage=%2Fsearch97%2Fsamples%2Fforms%2Fsrchdemo.htm&co
llection=all&queryText=SCSIFMT.EXE+&SEARCH-97.x=25&SEARCH-97
..y=21

First try installing the drive in your PC by itself, that
is, disconnect any other hard drives while you are
performing this operation.

Boot with a Win95/95 boot disk and run Fdisk, follow the
instruction, reboot then Format the drive with the same boot
disk. If this doesn't work then use a SCSI format program
and then run Fdisk and Format.

Thanks for your kind answer!

Do you mean that I can use SCSI HDD for Apple PowerMac in the IBM-
PC(Pentium) "WITHOUT changing set-up(or changing firmware)" ???

I want to know "POSSIBILIT, METHOD and UTILITY" for using Mac Quantum
Fireball TM in the Pentium(IBM) PC !!!

I want to know MORE "the above topic" THAN SCSI formatting utility.

Please let me know more Info about the above topic !!!

Thanks a lot.

Forget about the SCSI FORMAT utility.
