Don't know why it's not recommended.  I've heard about one report of a
failure... but that was with a drive that probably had other problems.  As
long as the drive's otherwise working decently and is relatively current
(please, no 40 meg Quantums from inside IIsi's :-), I would think it would
work just fine.

I also have never heard of a patch, only a pre-patched version that's
floating around.  FTP to mug.utm.edu and cd into apple, then get the file
AppleHDSCSetup7.3.2+.hqx and try that.  If you don't go into the system by
hand, the complete URL should be

ftp://mug.utm.edu/STAFF_APPS/Gopher/MUG/pub/apple

and nothing should be case sensitive, as the FTP server is running under
MacOS.

Hope that helps,
David
