Hi everybody,

   I am having trouble installing a second 310 M hard disk (A MAXTOR drive
which I removed from a PS2/80)  on a RT 6150. It
has an ESDI adapter and is running  ACIS/4.3. The machine currently has
a 310M disk in drive C.

  After I installed the second disk on drive D the diagnostics does not show
the second at all. On the other hand when I boot the machine the following
message appears on the console.

Feb  7 18:55:39 eleni vmunix: hdc0: card level 0x4b microcode level 0x55 c

Feb  7 18:55:39 eleni vmunix: hd1: bad/missing configuration record
Feb  7 18:55:39 eleni vmunix: HD: adapter @ 0xf00001f0 TIMED OUT (0x51 & 0
x88 != 0x8)


I tried formating the disk but it refuses to do any type of formatting.
The disk is brand new disk that I kludged from a PS2 model 80.
What am I doing wrong ? I have checked all the manuals and could not
find any clue as to what could have gone wrong.

Has anybody ever faced such a trouble before ? It seems surprising that
this drive is the same model as the first drive (company, type, etc...)
I am willing to try any suggestions that some has to offer, short of saying
forget-it !!!.

  Thanks in advance.
