Problems installing Segate ST-4096 drive in UNIX PC

[Thurman]

Today I tried to install a new Segate ST-4096 (1024 cyl, 9 head)
in my UNIX-PC to replace my flaky Miniscribe 6085 (1024 cyl, 8 head).
Since I do not have the p5.1 upgrade, I was formating it as an 8 head
drive.  When trying to initialize the drive, I immediately get the
error message (I didn't write it down, so this is an approximation):
	Error: Failed on format: Response = 4.
Other actions to the disk (diagnostics, for example) also produced a
failure indicating response = 4.  I feel certain that I had the drive
configured as drive 1 (and I tried other drive configurations also -
same result).  Any ideas?  Since the drive is new, I am considering
returning it as defective, but if there is something I am doing wrong,
please let me know.  Many thanks.
