Uh, does anybody know if both Apple and Sparc use the same low level
disk
format?  (bytes/sector, etc.)  I know Apple has some special SCSI stuff, 
but I don't know how special.

If you have to do a low level re-format, you'll need a working system
with SCSI, and the proper utility program.

I hope it's just a matter of deleting the partition, and making a new
one,
but if the Sparc can't see the size or other info about the hard disk,
that may be why.  (I don't have a clue about how Sparc's run either.
Sorry)
