Mine seized up immediately. Very interesting. How many partitions on the disk?
What versions of A/UX were the others running?

The Seagate Hawk in the IIci is working great :-)

Very strange. The NetBSD IIci has 16MB SIMMs all the way through it, but I'm
running NetBSD on that, not A/UX. :-) The parity shouldn't make a difference
though.

NetBSD doesn't have one, at least not in the modern versions (older ones
didn't either but you'd get a lot of spurious errors -- I got a lot of
scary but ultimately painless messages doing a newfs on a 2GB drive).
I don't yet trust Linux/mac68k.
