I don't know what those sense codes are, and unfortunately I don't have a
listing.  I called ICD to find out what they were, since I thought they
were coming from the host adapter.  The tech I talked to looked in a manual
to find out what the error was.  I would think that Seagate would send you
a listing, with or without payment I'm not sure.
