I just installed a 7000 FASST2 on my 386 running 386/IX 2.0.2
and using a ST-277N (seagate) that someone gave me. It works just  
fine... I have an ESDI controller as my primary drive and use the
SCSI controller for a secondary drive.  Installation wasn't bad
although the automated script didn't work for me... (I have a lot
of things on this system they assume you don't) but 10 minutes of
manual labor and it was up and running.

And if anyone is interested, I'll be testing a Exabyte 8MM tape drive
soon.
