I was disputing the blanket statement that "it won't recognise an
uninitialised drive". It seems that _sometimes_ it won't.
As you say, we now need to narrow it down. Perhaps it recognises SCSI
drives but not IDE?
The problem is, when we find out exactly what the problem is, how do we
get that information to the program author?
