   It seems I have again no luck (second time, because I tried a DORS 32160   
   already). May be no IBM drive can be used with a Mega STE and the   
   build-in ASCI controller.   
   I have only set "disable parity" and "autostart", no SCSI-ID jumper set   
   (that should result in a SCSI-ID = 0).   
   The drive is not recognized.   
   Why did I buyed an IBM HD ?   
   Because I read the recommendations at   
   http://atari.mnx2010.nl/helpdesk/scsi/scsi.htm ...   
   This page is not related to a Mega STE, may be the list of "compatible"   
   drives is totally wrong :-(
