Just to be clear. All SE-SCSI disk drives will work on an HP3000, provided
they are plugged into an SE-SCSI (non-FW) connection and they have a
properly set SCSI-ID and the pins are not shorted out. :-) It doesn't
matter if the name is not found in the IODFAULT file.
The same goes for FW-SCSI (aka SCSI-3), any old FW-SCSI drive should work,
plugged into an FW controller.
But as Paul pointed out, the drive in question here is a FW, which will NOT
work inside a 928. Look for something with the letter N at the end of the
name, that stands for Narrow SCSI. You can then check to see if it's indeed
a single-ended (SE) SCSI drive.

Look in your IODFAULT.PUB.SYS for the drives supported on your version of
MPE.

Do you know if ST318404LC 18GB Cheetah disk drives (Hewlett
Packard/Seagate) are supported on 918 machines. I am trying to use it as
an internal disk drive (as drive 2... drive 1 is 4.0 gb disk drive)
Thank you in advance for all your help!
