IF ANYONE KNOWS A BETTER GROUP THAN THIS ONE, TO CHECK FOR WHAT I
NEED, PLEASE TELL ME. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Background: Turned off my Amiga 12 years ago, disassembled and
packed away. Turned it back ON for first time earlier this week.

Problem: I have a C-Ltd SCSI-1000 controller. I *believe* I have all
the "gear" that came with it. (no doc book, but two disks, one of
which has docs on it, the other has HDD utils)

I also have Seagate 277N and 296N drives. When I put the system
away, I believe I purposely erased all partitions just for data
privacy issues, but I could be wrong.

I have the boot disks I made for the system long ago, that has
proper mountlist and system-configuration.

And the docs only talk about Adaptec brand drives. The utils on the
disk don't work with Seagate, EXCEPT for a low-level (?) formatter
titled "Seamat", which works fine apparently.

BUT.... I can't get the damn drive to show up.

I have run a low-level format, that seemed to work fine.

But how do I partition and format this drive???

During bootup, I get an error message that the HDD is not a DOS
drive. It *does* mount though, as the system tells me that it is
mounted, if I try to manually mount it (again).

It's been WAY too long, and I've forgotten what steps I need to take
and in what order. (I did remember to make sure my SCSI bus was
properly terminated, at the last drive in chain.)

Any ideas? Places I should look??

TIA!!
