ST-225N (not 255) works fine. It's a 20MB unit and it's manual parking
but it works fine with SCSIParker (thanks Marten vdK :) ) which,
although made for System 6 still works as a CP in 8.1!
The 40S is dead I think. It just hangs the bus when attached externally.
I tried it with and without termination, on 2 different IDs (1 and 2)
but still no jazz. It spins and the heads are free but I don't know if
it is initializing properly. It's an Apple ROM'd drive as it has an
Apple sticker (the red Apple with '40' inside) on the back, I think it
came out of an SE or an SE/30 originally. I might try it on my SE/30's
external to see if my Quadra is being fussy but seeing as it just ran up
a 20MB 5.25" half height I doubt it is somehow.
