I plugged the disks into the SCSI cable that was in my VAXstation 4000

another disk on the cable, so if not properly terminated I would have
expected neither disk to be recognised, but the existing disk was
recognised. I could boot off the existing disk but could not mount the
other disks in any way (fatal drive error, or media offline were the
errors).
I will however check the termination just to be sure it isn't that.

Are these the ones I just sent you?
How did you test them? Just wondering if there might be VAX quirks which
means that they may actually be OK...
If so, please DO NOT try to recover anything that may be on them. Just
wipe
them.
Actually no, none of them worked unfortunately :-(
