I tried both with and without the sync jumper.  No dice either way.
And you are right, the 1542B didn't help.  I borrowed a friend's 1542B.

I have the drive running on an st-01 controller card right now, but it only
seems to work at 16MHz, which is a rather unsatisfactory way to use my 33MHz
machine... Sigh. (:-(   If i put the machine in hi-speed i get "can not read
block #" errors on the fsck.

sloooooly,
