  That should have taken care of it.. Ah. Make sure you have the
RAMFAST.DRIVER driver from the very latest ROM installed in your
hard drive's system folder. 

  Also, make sure the HS.fST was properly installed. try disabling
the MSDOS.fST.

  Indeed. You might also try turning on the SCSI-2 switch.  It will make
the drive a bit smarter :-)
