Well, after stuffing about for days with a Seagate SCSI 1.3Gb harddisk
drive, getting it working, then having to get hold of the 2.2 SNAPSHOT
so I have a install disk that sees the atapi CD, I get every thing loaded,
partitioned, installed and configured, and guess what....

On boot the SCSI just sits there and spins. - and spins - and spins -
NOTHING will make it boot the OS.

is it all worth it I ask.! I have no idea, does anyone else? 
Is the Seagate compatible. Must be. I loaded the OS onto it! 
Does the 2.2 snapshot (May 1) actually boot anyway!
