Possibly... On my VX40-166, it saw a 1.5 gig IDE fine, but didn't see a 4
gig IDE correctly. Once I updated to the latest firmware (3.8-36 built
1/12/1996) it saw the 4 gig fine. I don't remember what the original
firmware version was though. Ooops. I take it everything looks okay in the
ARC setup screens? 

Try this.. do the boot floppies work without any of the three drives
connected? If so, try with one at a time, till it craps out...

BTW - I take it that all three drives are external...
