     YES , Scsisys 2.2 likes to kill virgins I have two drives that have
no responses to an adaptec scsi card in a pc  " adaptec 2940 "
      card bios reports no drives found after a scsisysfmt  program from
scsisys 2.2  .The drives will spin up but thats all, no other
      actions from drives can be done . The drives in question are 
"Quantum  Pro Drive LPS 105S" 105meg and " HP97560" 1.3gig
      I believe the scsi information that is on drive has been erased by
scsisysfmt program and drives rendered useless for all future
      uses .

      Thanks ,
