A couple of pointers: I installed a Miniscribe 1588 SCSI drive (760 meg,
650meg formatted).

    1}. Set your asyncronus transfer to ON. You'll get an error message
       when you first boot up the ADAPTEC BIOS FORMAT UTILITY, but 
       nothing will work unless you set AT to ON (jumper number one).

    2}. The BIOS will recognize this device as some ID/LUN which is
       other than that to which it is set. Ie: if you have it set as
       Id 0/Lun 0, the BIOS may think its at Id 0/Lun 4. Why? I dunno.
