Does your disk controller support IDE?   Why?   That's just an ST-506 type
drive with "Integrated Drive Electronics", and is not going to perform up
to SCSI specs.

If your controller supports IDE, it probably still won't work with AMAX.
The Mac understands SCSI, and SCSI only.  If your controller doesn't support
IDE, the drive won't work at all.
