I'm afraid most likely it won't

The drive is an old (used) IBM WDS-60 160MB, although the kernel
recognizes it as an IBM KZP...

Someone suggested the scsictl program, but I was unable to get that to
compile due to a header file conflict...

I'm still stuck with no /home :) I guess I'm homeless? (sorry)

Thanks a lot everyone...
