One method would be to use the "FWB Hard Disk Toolkit", that is the method
I use on my PowerMac to spin up a pair of 2Gb HP drives. I've heard that
there are shareware or freeware alternatives, but haven't investigated them.
In your case, the problem with the "FWB Hard Disk Toolkit" is that it would
be cheaper to get a Mac compatible Hard Drive that is probably larger than
a RZ23, than it would be to get the Toolkit.
