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..??
