Unless the disc you are adding is a SCSI F/W one, you probably do not want
to use address 52.7 - which will cause your system to hang.

Adress 52.7 corresponds to SCSI address 7, which, if SE SCSI,  is reserved
for the address of the controller itself and should not be used by any device.

I completely concurr with Doug Werth's very sage advice about testing the
drive as a non-system volume first. It will not necessarily prevent a
system hang or crash - depending upon the nature of any problem - but it
will prevent a reload situation in the event of malfunction.
