   Hey I was wondering if anyones who owns a Seagate 157N (48 meg) SCSI drive
has successfully gotten it to work with the Supra WordSync controller?  The
drive seems to work well, and spins up.  Actually, it worked well(And still
does as far as I know) with the HardFrame 2000 SCSI interface.  The
terminating resistor packs are installed, and I talked with Seagate, and they
told me that the most recent version of their chip was installed on the HD's
controller board.  The problem is that the WordSync interface doesn't even
seem to recognise that the drive is present(Says "NO SCSI DEVICE FOUND"), even
when running the partitioning/formatting program.  Has anyone had such bad
luck?  If possible, I'd like to keep my WordSync interface rather than having
to sell it, and get another.  Thanks for any help...
