DON'T USE ANYTHING BUT DEBUG, FDISK and FORMAT to set up your drive.  You
just plain don't need the DiskManager from Ontrack Systems.  Just read the
little instruction sheet that came with the 2372B and you're on your way...

PS - good luck with the Seagate... but it could be worse: could be a
     Miniscribe.  I just found out - the hard way - that a 6085 won't
     "work and play well" with the 2372B, either (that's in addition
     to the 3053's.  I'm sticking to Maxtor's and Micropolises
