The drivers you use either with a pre-made image or yourself can make all the difference between having a bootable machine or one that crashes at startup.

Apple

Apple SC HD Setup

Apple drivers are very compatible but early versions of the Apple SC HD Setup require a patch and do a "low level" format that can take hours on a large drive. You can instead grab one of our pre-formatted blanks from the Usage page.

If you are making a image to share with may different systems, this is the best choice.

Drive Setup

Using Drive Setup on OS 7.1+ is recommended for 030 machines and above.

NOTE: Drive Setup drivers will not work on a Mac Plus - use Apple SC HD Setup.

LIDO

LIDO is not recommended as it affects performance, and is incompatible with the Macintosh Plus.

A very common 3rd party formatting utility compatible with most Macintoshes.

Lacie

Does work but does not seem to change any performance or compatibility over LIDO.

FWB Toolkit

Incompatible with the Macitosh Plus
