- No Jeff, the ST-02 works with non-Seagate drives. I once had (pre-1542 days)
- a Seagate ST-02 working with an ST296N and a Quantum 105S. I suspect an
- address/parity/terminator problem with Sami's setup. Double check that the
- drives and host all have different SCSI addresses, all share the same parity
- setting, and that (only) the LAST drive on the SCSI bus (cable) is terminated.
