<lots of good SCSI advices>
All good sound advice, but in my case it's all old news I'm affraid.
I think in the case of Quantum drives the nonsense that makes em play
up on non-PC controllers is hardcoded onto the ROM.
To give you a recent example, I hooked an Atlas IV up to my Amiga
1200 Tower (if you don't know don't ask ;o) ) SCSI chain and the Hard
Disk utility refused to even talk to it. It didn't see it at all. I
took that drive off and hooked up a Seagate Barracuda in exactly the
same chain with hte same settings and bam - it came straight up.
The amiga is off topic :( scsi is an addon and disktools vary depending
on many factors. I'm not saying your wrong Mark, its just not the best
example. . . My 1200 runs Quantum bigfoots - 4.0gb rather than 4.3 which
has cause problems, mainly operator error under the 3.0 rom.
Low Levelling on a PC might solve it
Best bet.

Enterprise storage, lol. Pulldowns start the download, there's a good
idea :(
Gregg's point's regarding the jumpers, J3 would be best to configure
the rear one affects the *chain* from what I read. Returning the the
wrong scsi ID seems odd as I don't see why it would be firmware or what
real use such a feature would have ..
Model # please and good luck
