I've been watching this thread *very* closely, because I've been unable to get my new IBM ultra160 drive to boot using the 29160. I'd thought that maybe it was a thing that would be fixed by using an IBM-supplied utility to zero the disk, but that's not been the case. I'm reluctantly ready to try another controller now. Does that sound like a reasonable thing to try? Could you give me a recommendation of another controller, and tell me where you bought it?
