 From what I gather it sounds like you may have your device ID set wrong on the
 hard drive itself. Make sure its set for drive 0, as most drives start there.
 Your software on the ICD host adapter at the bottom right hand corner tells
 you what device # your give to your drive. I think it starts at 1. Regardless
 just reread everything on the Device ID in the software manual. Also SCSI
 imbedded drives have to use the SCSI drivers made specifically for this drive.
 It doesnt work the same as the regular hard drives that come with external
 controllers, from what Ive heard. So call ICD Technical Support and they
 will give more help as well. Sometimes if its not an ID or Driver problem,
 look at your cabling and make sure you have hooked up J0 on the host with
 your hard drive, and not J1 as so many mistakenly do. Last of all if all
 else fails reconnect all cables, making sure for proper connection.

 Dave Tomesch, PS. Tell ICD Mr. Fusion sent you!  Ask for Howard.
