I just pulled an 18G Seagate from another box - tossed it in the 1750, and
it booted fine alone side an IBM drive, no problem. Added another IBM
drive (1 Seagate, 2 IBM), and it failed again. So, running 2 IBM drives
will fail to boot. Add a different drive, and you can use 1 IBM drive.

Super.

Thanks for the pointer David.
