It seems I have again no luck (second time, because I tried a DORS 32160 
already). May be no IBM drive can be used with a Mega STE and the 
build-in ASCI controller.
I have only set "disable parity" and "autostart", no SCSI-ID jumper set 
(that should result in a SCSI-ID = 0).
The drive is not recognized.
Why did I buyed an IBM HD ?
Because I read the recommendations at
http://atari.mnx2010.nl/helpdesk/scsi/scsi.htm ...
This page is not related to a Mega STE, may be the list of "compatible" 
drives is totally wrong :-(
