SubjectRe: SCSI SEAGATE 9GB (Screwy) OEM Drives, w/ 2068 byte block

Hello Andre, Is this by chance marked 'Storage Dimensions'
if they are then this is what happened to them . This should
be able to be gotten around with 'Michael Wellers' scsiinfo-1.7
tools . from :

ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/ALPHA/scsi/scsiinfo-1.7.tar.gz

I didn't find the location on sunsite.unc.edu :-}
