I have seen exactly the same failures with a 1542 and a Conner CFP1060S disk and it seems a firmware problem with the Conner disks. If you have a chance to get a firmware upgrade from Conner, try that. I have used after that a Fujitsu M2694 and now a Seagate Hawk disk on the same hardware without any problems. I have now seen three reports like that with Conner 1.0Gb udn 1.3Gb disks and four people have reported no problems. One mentioned there was a firmware upgrade for the 1.0Gb and only early disks showed this problem. Under DOS there is no problem with that disk. I have also used this disk with no problems for a short time in a SUN and now it landed in a MAC with no problems.
