Does anybody know of ANYONE who has managed to get the Quantum Empire 2100s
working with the Atari Falcon? The Falcon doesn't recognize the drive. 
Apparently the Falcon is designed for scsi2 and the Empire is scsiIII. Today 
I called System Solutions about it. They told me that it would work if 
I had an internal hard drive to boot the HD-Driver(tm) software from (yes) 
and put the SCSI Arbitration setting on. I went down there and bought the 
aforementioned software from them.

Guess what? It doesn't work. The man at System Solutions said there were
definately people out there who managed to get it to work. The other strange
thing is that although the spec's for the Empire 2100s on Quantum's web page
claim it is SCSI3, the drive unit uses a normal Scsi2 50 pin connector.
Wierd. Do you know of anyone at all who has managed to get it to work? How
did they do it?
