I am having problems flashing the drive. I get an "-2" error with
sgdskfl.

Error -2 is a "-2 means that the SCSI request returned a check condition
(sense error)" from the UserGuide.

I got a similar sense error while trying to flash using the Quantum supplied
"DL_scsi.exe" under DOS.

Andrew, any idea what might be the problem here? Also whats a "Servo
image"?

Here is paste from "sgdskfl" run:
