Hello Brian,

If your CMI is a rev 6.03 (with a CMI-33 wave processor) and not
an upper release level (with the CMI-41 wave supervisor), the only
hard-disks which are compatible are not SCSI one... The hard-disks
were ESDI with a converter board from Adaptec. This board was able
to drive two ESDI disks and was seen as one SCSI device by the CMI.

You have three solutions to your problem:
- find some ESDI disks and an Adaptec board to add some external
  disks to your CMI.
- Use the DC600 tape streamer or the WORM to archive your data.
- Upgrade your CMI hardware & software to a newer release which
  support standard SCSI devices...

Hope this helps.

    Laurent.
