This morning, I formatted a SCSI drive for my old LC II and installed System 7.5.5 and a bunch of programs. Unfortunately, the LC couldn’t see it. I thought it might be the jumper settings, so I switched the SCSI ID from 2 over to 0. The LC still can’t see it, but now when I hook it up the G3 I used to format it, Disk Tools and SCSIProbe say it’s “unsupported” and Disk Drive TuneUp (which I used to format it) thinks it’s a removeable drive! It keeps asking me to “Please insert media into the selected device!”
Any thoughts…? 
P.S. I used this same procedure, minus switching the SCSI ID, to put another old SCSI drive into an LC 575, and it works beautifully.

First - you can't use "0" or "7" as addresses, the SCSI controller eats those. Usually HD's are 1, 2; CD-ROM - 3; added stuff - 4,5,6.
Second, make sure when you formatted the drive, it was in HFS, not HFS+

You can use ID 0 but ID 7 is almost alsways used for the host controler ID.
Make sure you have enabled HD spin up.
Also try formating the drive in the LC and then installing the system software on the G3.
or for another option D/L the disk images and make them from the G3 and install it useing the LC

Thanks for the help, but the LC II (“Luka”) doesn’t seem to be able to see any drive that’s not Apple-branded. I finally just gave up and put the 575 (“Atlanta”)’s stock 160MB in it (replacing the 80MB that Luka shipped with). They’re both quite happy, as I’m sure my G3 (“Mr. BoJangles”) will be, once I reattach his zip drive and close up his side.
(He’s looking fairly hacked himself, at the moment….)
