Yes.

hmm...PDC is pretty brain dead. Were those SCSI devices shipped with the
C110 or installed later?

I don't know what they should be - I don't have the product manual.
ID2/PRTY sound like they are correct. I don't konw what PRV/ALW means.
(Prevent/Allow what?). TERM should probably be left disconnected.

BTW, just because the drive is from HP doesn't mean it's setup
to work w/ an HP workstation. Firmware on the drive could do things
that confuse PDC/IODC.

You need to figure this output first...try a different drive perhaps.
The FWD drives not being seen concerns me just as much.
