CLS2086,
The GVP scsi rom version is not an issue. He has successfully used the card with other drives.
Tsargon,
That nature of scsi is "rules must be followed, but some rules are written with an eraser close at hand". Some drives never work with some controllers. Seagate is notorious for being stubborn.
I have several 1-3 gig SCSI drives on my bench right now. All have passed. Send me an email about prepping a drive for you. BTW - what did you pay for that 2 gig drive?
