I don't know about the conner mechanism.  I've had problems with
SCSIProbe trying to read the internal Conner in my IIsi as well (not as a
ufs partition, simply using hfs to read the mac volume.)  I think
it *might* be a compatibility problem with that whole mechanism.

It'll probably work like a charm about the same time as the EZ135's.

Any ideas, anyone?  It fails under both SCSI drivers (NetBSD11 should
be the old one, the generics use the new one).  

BTW, it could simply be a bad block.  Try running Norton Utilities.  If
it reads that the drive has a bad block athat needs to be remapped, we
can all breathe easy, because it would likely mean that my problem is
just a quirk of hfs version 0.00.  If it doesn't, it's another driver
difficulty.

Ideas, anyone?
