I recently purchased a Seagate s277n drive also and am very interested in 
whatever information I can get on it.  It should be arriving via UPS some
day this week, and when I get it I'll be more than anxious in formatting it
and getting it online.  From what I understand, the drive uses the same
mechanism as the s277r which is an RLL encoded drive using the st506(?)
interface (or whatever IBM PCs use).  The logic board is different, of
course, to allow the SCSI to interface and also to perform the RLL stuff
on _it_ rather than a separate controller board.  By the way, what sort
of performance should I expect from this drive?  I anyone has information
on this drive, I would greatly appreciate some e-mail.  The problem is the
mail path to this system is a bit twisted.
