- Oh, I've tried that before, twice, without much success. This was only
- the "gee, I give up" summary...

- Anyway, the machine is a HP/Apollo 425t under Domain/OS 10.4. The machine
- "somehow" can talk to the drive, ie. scsi_info does return the correct
- information -- yet invol doesn't find it ("no controller found"), and
- an attempt at mounting it fails miserably ("device busy")...
