Frank,
As I said…I'd suggest you have HDToolBox create the entry for the
Wren by reading the parameters from the drive itself. At least that way
you know it's correct.
Many drives don't turn on the drive activity LED when doing a low
level format. The Activity LED usually is indicative of activity on the
SCSI Bus so the initial flashes you noted are the commands being passed.
The drive then goes off-line and does the format…so no activity LED since
as far as the SCSI bus is concerned…there's no activity on the bus…it's
all being handled in the drive itself.
I believe the original drive database only had the Quantums that
came with the A2000HD series in it…others the user enters by hand or by
having the information read from the drive itself.
