For those of you who are interested ...

I know have my ST1239A drive working with BSD - a great it is too !

The problem turned out to be the IDE controller. I had one of these
integrated IDE controllers, with 2 serial and 2 parallel ports on it
as well. I have now changed this for a really old IDE controller and
equally old serial/parallel board and the system is fine.

Great, now I have UNIX at home - now to compile X386, set up the printer,
write a device driver for my scanner, write the application to read the
scanner, and .......

Oh well, At least its a start.

Thanks again to all those people who took the time to reply ..

Adam
