I'm not familiar with these IBM drives, but I've had the same problem
setting up a quantum drive in an external case. From a cold startup the
drive would never spin up and appear on the desktop without sending it a
separate mount command from FWB Mounter, Drive Setup or some other
utility. I finally solved the problem by checking the jumper specs and
putting a jumper over the right pins to tell the drive to spin up and get
ready for write commands immediately when powered up, soon enough to be
sensed by the boot drive. (Although other seemingly identical drives
worked fine without this jumper pin in place.?!?)
So I'd say check with IBM to see if there's not some simple jumper
setting that you can apply.
P.S. I've found that drives with termination problems often are like
'invisible', don't appear on the bus and aren't recognized by any setup
utility.
