Be careful, I still don't know what disk controller you have connected
to this disk but I do know that many disk controllers use the name
"RA82" as a fake disk name. They are not _real_ ra82s (big honkin' SDI
drives) they are something else (all my DSSI disks claim to be RA82's
when they go through the KFQSA even through they are actually RF71's and
'72s)

So, for the record, what disk controller are you using on this disk and
what kind of disk is it?
