Do you have PATA drives? My zx6000 just has SCSI:

scsi host0: ioc0: LSI53C1030 C0, FwRev=01032341h, Ports=1, MaxQ=255, IRQ=57
scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access HP 36.4G MAU3036NC HPC2 PQ: 0 ANSI: 3
scsi target0:0:0: Beginning Domain Validation
scsi target0:0:0: Ending Domain Validation
scsi target0:0:0: FAST-160 WIDE SCSI 320.0 MB/s DT IU QAS RTI WRFLOW PCOMP (6.25 ns, offset 127)

[Wow! 36.4GB ... seemed like an OK sized drive back when that machine arrived in my lab. Now
my phone has more than twice that amount of storage :-) ]
