HELP!!!  I just got my BLand Cube today (OD only) and I'm trying
to get this Micropolis 1578 drive that has been sitting on my
shelf for two weeks installed in it.  When I first booted the
Cube, it gave me a "system test failed" message.  I went into the
ROM monitor and saw "error 65".  My campus rep. said that that was
an error generated by the SCSI test....  I was able to boot with
"bod" and when I looked at preferences, I saw that the boot device
was a hard disk (which wasn't there).  I changed it to OD.  If I 
run the SCSI tests, I still get error 65.

The 1578 didn't come with any explicit instructions.  I just plugged
in the power, a 50-pin cable and powered up.  A "scsimodes /dev/rsd0a"
turned up nothing.  Are there some jumper settings that I'm missing
(like SCSI address)?

Please help - this OD is *slow*....  

Thanks,
Ralph
