I'd appreciate hearing from anyone using the 2090 controller with adaptec 4070 and Seagate ST277R. When I try to run the "prep" program I get a -1 error and nothing. I can run it with the 277R hooked up to the ST506 connections without the 4070 although I don't understand what the blocksper track are in this case…Actually I don't understand what they are when using the 4070 and SCSI interface either. From reading the adaptec manual my guess is 25 blockspertrack but I'm not sure thats correct. In the 2090 manual it seems to indicate that this information is not critical for the prep program anyway..I'm not sure if the 4070 or 2090 is bad or if I'm not configuring something correctly. There are no jumpers on the 4070. Any help would be most appreciated….Thanks
