Can I challenge this, or get some help?  I have a Toshiba XM-5301B that works 
great in my Sparcstations.  But it's an internal and I have no sleds for my 
I2.

I also have a Toshiba XM-3401BMA in an external IBM-branded case (7210-005).  
The case brings all of the jumpers to the back: ID bits, parity, PRV/ALW, 
Test and Termination.  

So, I've tried both of these drives in the external case attached to my I2's 
external SCSI connector.  At first the power-on diags sensed a parity 
problem.  Okay, throw the dip switch and reboot everything.  Now I'm getting 
other errors:

------------------------------

------------------------------

Does the I2 care which ID the CD-ROM uses?  Any idea if the Toshiba model 
numbers listed above will work?   What could be causing these errors?
