SUMMARY: HSZ70 Troubles

Ok...it seems like I may have a bad HSZ70. What I did was looked and saw that
all of the disks that were on Target 0 (this controller) were fine, but it was
all the disks on Target 1 (other controller) that had the problems. I shutdown
the other controller, the disks switched themselves to use "this controller",
and at that point my system was able to see all the disks. I brought the other
controller back up, and once again the system could not see the disks. So, I'm
going on the assumption that the controller is bad. Thanks to all who replied,
especially David Ross, who led me to this discovery.
