We have purchased some 171 Mb Micropolis ESDI drives, Model 1355
for use on our IBM RTs.  Before purchasing them I asked around
for advice on what disks would work with RTs and was told that
Micropolis drives "pop right in".  However, when we went to
install them today, we had some problems getting the system
to recognize them for formatting.

Have any of you successfully installed Micropolis drives?  Would
you be willing to let us call you with a verbal description
of the diagnostic messages we are receiving and advise us what
jumpers we need to change, or whatever, to get them to work?
In exchange, I am happy to offer to document the steps we finally
take to successfully install the drives and to post this for future 
purchasers of Micropolis drives (good deal--171 Mb for $1060. ea 
from Wyle Labs).

Please send me email with your phone number, if possible, or call
collect (213) 825-7680.
 
By the way, we are running AOS (BSD 4.3) although I wouldn't
think that matters in terms of formatting and recognizing the 
drives.
