WAIT A MINUTE!!!...  You connected the disk to both a ST-506 and a ESDI
controller?  I'll give you a hint; DON"T DO THAT.  Connecting a
ST-506/ESDI disk to an ESDI/ST-506 controller can be bad for the health of
the disk.  IF you have ESDI disk then use the MD-21.  If you have an
st-506 disk then use the slower Adaptec 4000.

SECOND...I don't think 3.4 knows about 380MB(u) disks (I think that is
what the WREN IV is).  Check that you've configured the disk as the proper
Logical Unit (LUN), that the terminators on the disk on installed and the
SCSI bus is terminated correctly.

You may have lunched your disk.
