[PARPORT] Frying hardware

Hi!

        I have a Syquest SparQ drive running on a TI Extensa 650CD. Due to
sheer stupidity, I forgot to hook up my Sparq drive to the computer.
Anyhow, I noticed it, and then I hooked the thing up and stuck in a disk. I
didn't heard the tradition housekeeping of the disk, and I began to get
worried. I tried to mount the disk to no avail. I aalso tried the mke2fs to
salvage the disk. That didn't work either. Below I have the /var/adm/kernel
logs of the paride driver and the Syquest disk

Thanks,
Tino
