   I've had my StarDrive hooked up to a Seagate ST-277N for a long time now.
But when I first hooked it up, it had similar problems. They went away when
I disabled the parity on the 277N. I had to reread the manual (ie pamphlet)
to find the one sentence in the middle of a paragraph where it says this
action is essential. Hope this helps !
