No..it's an HP generic and it has no BIOS... I tried using SCSI ToolBox on my windows machine but it just hangs. The disk was formatted for freebsd and I used the newfs_msdos command on it and now it is hosed..I can't seem to get it back. Disklabel gives me a "disk not configured" error argghh..any ideas/help..??
