Ultra2 SCSI in Quadra 950?

[SirFoxx]

I just got my hands on an IBM 18gb ultra2 scsi drive, 68 pin, and I was wondering if this, with an adapter, would work in my quadra. I know the bus rate is 10x faster than the regular scsi. Also, would the fact it being 18gb pose a problem when installing OS 7? Currently, this is currently my only working SCSI drive, and I would like to install it in my Quadra.

Yup, it will work fine. You'll need a third party formatting program, as Apple HD SC Setup won't format non-Apple-ROM drives. But it will work just fine.

I used to use that EXACT drive in my SE/30 server.

Can I format it within the install process with a 3rd party tool? If not I have an older performa I can use. Do you remember what tool you used?

Yeah, you boot from the install disk, swap in the disk with the formatting tool, format, put the install disk back in, and launch the installer.
