Your Syquest drive seems to be configured to send a UNIT ATTENTION message
after power-on. This collides with the first read request issued by TOS.
You might need to reconfigure your drive with some tool; maybe the
BOOTFIX program on your ICD disk already supports the Syquest drives.
If not, you should call ICD.
