I have an old-style Sun 141 Meg shoebox that includes an Adaptec ACB4000
controller board and a Micropolis 1325 ST-506 disk.  It works just fine
and when I fire up format, I get prompted for it as a disk that I can
format etc.. (Sun OS 4.1 on a 3/60)

When I unhook the cables to the Micropolis and plug them into a Maxtor
XT-1140 drive I got ahold of and reboot, format can't find the disk.

This leads me to believe that the ACB4000 is having a hard time with the
XT-1140.  I have tried every drive select possible on the XT-1140.

Question:

Does anyone know if the ACB4000 can control the XT-1140?  What are the
jumper settings required on the XT-1140?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers from chilly Ottawa,

ps. Xt-1140 format.dat entry would be also be handy if someone has it.
