Actually, yes.. i was using the Supra Host Adaptor...
However, postmortem 296N, a tech told me that he
tried formatting a ROM 8 277N with ICD and had the same
problem.. got ridiculous results at 1:1.  

But, i somehow believe you when you say that ICD, 296N and 1:1 work...
While i am currently using Supra all around with my Quantum, 
past experience with Supra has led me to believe ANYTHING is possible.

Still doesn't explain how Seagate themselves were not able to
run a 386 1:1 with a 296N ROM 8.... at least this is what they told
my dealer.
