I have an external 1.2 GB disk that I wanted to connect to my
NeXT running 3.0. It was found on boot with this message:

> IBM OEM 0663L12 Rev s t  as sd1 at sc0 target 3 lun 0

When I tried to format it I got the following errors in my console:
> /usr/etc/disk -i -h pipeline -l "UntitledDisk"  /dev/rsd1a
> disk name: IBM OEM 0663L12
> disk type: fixed_rw_scsi
> writing disk label
> sd1: Incomplete disk transfer; bytes moved = 0x1e00, resid = 0x1c48,  
retry 1
 < This repeated 9 more times>

> 
> wtfs: I/O error

HELP... Any way to make it recognize this drive? Hate to think I have to  
shell out ~$2,000 for a new drive of the same capacity.
