I usually just buy bare drives themselves on eBay, but i guess you got a
"free" SE out of the deal!

You need to use the V1.4 service disk, which has the "scsi format"
options. You'll set it to a generic SCSI drive (either 256 or 512 byte
sectors), instead of all those specific options. The setup/format
utility disk you're using doesn't have the correct options for
formatting a generic SCSI disk.

HD0 maps to device 0 with the standard device descriptors that Fluke
provided, and yes, thats what the MFM adaptor maps to. The tape backup
would run device 1 if you installed that externally.
