Whoops, looks like I'm going to have to post a public apology. 

You see, I really did write those drivers, but I was using disks
purchased by my boss, and those had the SCSI card attached to the
drive. Those drives looked, at a casual glance, like the IBM hard
drives I've handled since.

So, you are right, most drives are ST506. Some drives are SCSI,
however.  The similarlity in looks between the 506 and the SCSI drive
cards, permanently attached to the disk, is what crossed me up.
