Hello. I need some help very badly.  We just installed a 1.2G seagate
WREN-VII drive in our M/120.  At first I forgot to take out the terminating
resistors (SIPS), which is necessary because this is the second disk in an
expansion cabinet.  Before the SIPS were removed, I got a "SCSI Master Test...
Failed" message, but afterward this test passed.  On Friday we brought the
computer down for the weekend, and found on Sunday that the test was failing.
A full summary of the errors follows:

Power on: (Self tests start, LED for 1.2G disk lights continuously)
	SCSI Master Test.....Failed
Autoboot: (various messages, then)
	SCSI 2L0: Sense Data F0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 A 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 
		Sense Key 2: Drive can't be accessed
		Error Code 0x4: Drive not ready

Please send me any advice/diagnostics that would be helpful.  My whole lab
depends on this disk for data aquisition:  I need to fix this problem quickly.
I am currently running RISC OS4.01, and besides not recognizing the disk, the
M/120 seems to work.

Thanks in advance,
