I did this a couple weeks ago, and it failed to find the Sony CDU55E.
It is the 3rd ide drive, so I had to wake up the second driver, and to
test it, I plugged a 3rd hard drive up to it, and it found that just
fine.

So, I swapped it out for a generic SCSI 2, running off the aic in the
soundblaster. It gets found, but apparently can't handle the instructions
it's receiving and just hangs.

Do I just need to shell out the cash for a decent scsi, or is there some
hope for getting the Sony ide working?

Chad.
