G'day...

I have two 1 gigabyte SCSI-2 drives in my system on an Adaptec 1542B
SHA.  One is a Seagate ST1200N, and the other is a Micropolis
1598-15MD.

The problem is that the 1598 identifies itself as being SCSI-1 capable
instead of SCSI-2, which seems to be messing up other things.

The documentation with the drive makes no mention of this being
selectable with a jumper or otherwise.

Does anyone know anything more about these drives and what might be
amiss?
