I have an old ~700MB drive that works fine in MacOS,  if you don't use 
the last 50MB.  I have NetBSD on it now and it gives the occasional 
error as long as you don't use the last 50MB.  The errors only appear 
under large disk load (Ie compiling on an 8MB SE/30).  Still works okay 
considering it came out of a garbage can and has a noticable dent in 
the top cover.  (Hmm, now that I think about it all of my Macs are 
former trash...)

It is even working okay as a second drive crammed into an SE/30 (Very 
tight fit)
