I have since gotten help from the net and the system does in fact work. I have
run a number of drive diagnostics (not ibm) in hopes that I might get it to
fail. No luck there.

For those who are interested, the seagate magic numbers are:

733 5 732 732 11 0

What would interest me is what that 0 does. They say it is for a CCB option
byte but what is the CCB and what do other options perform??

Thanx.
