The following is from ICD's READ.ME file -
    In brief, here are a few things you SHOULD know about this software: 

    o   This current release includes full support for Omti 3520/3527(a) SCSI
        controllers and drives connected to them, most embedded SCSI drives,
        and support for Adaptec 4000(a)/4070 SCSI controllers (only high level
        defect mapping is supported with Adaptecs).  SASI controllers are no
        longer supported.  Use our older version software for use with SASI or
        else purchase a new Omti controller.  It will be much faster than SASI.

Sounds like you can't use ICDs V4 software with anything but OMTI, ADAPTEC,
and embedded SCSI drives.
