Hi Olecranon,
Just got a new 80 pin 10k rpm for my A4000T and it is not recognised in HDToolbox.
Maybe I'll just try hooking it direct to my Cyberstorm with no adapter and see what happens.

You need to change the tooltype on the HD Toolbox Icon if you are running OS earlier than 3.9
Also, if your Cyberstorm is a MkII, you will require the SCSI adapter module for this card to connect SCSI devices. The CS MkII is a faster interface than the A4000's. If you have as CS MkIII, there is a 68 Pin SCSI III header right on the card. Be sure to terminate the SCSI cable with an Active Terminator if running more than 1 SCSI Device, otherwise, Enable Termination on the SCSI Hard drive itself. If you ever put more than 1 hard drive on the SCSI Bus, you will certainly have to fit an Active SCSI Terminator to the end of the SCSI cable. On some occasions & this all depends on the type of SCSI devices you have on the Bus, you might have to terminate Both ends of the SCSI cable with Active Terminators. As a final word on performance, try to avoid putting CDROM's, ZIP drives etc on the SAME SCSI bus as your Hard drives. It will affect your Hard drives speed. As you have the 4000T, slap CDROM's, Zip drives, scanners etc onto the A4000's onboard SCSI and then your Hard drive(s) on the CS.
Another thing just popping into mind is Soft Kicking ROM Images into Ram on A4000T's. Be sure the ROM Image is the 40.70 image & not the 40.68. The latter was for the desktop 4000's & does not include the SCSI info required by 4000T's.
Best of luck bud! :-)
*edit* When using multiple SCSI devices, be sure ALL the devices before the Active SCSI cable Terminator are set with no termination, otherwise you will Terminate the SCSI bus prematurely and not see all your devices
