This entire sad story is why I recommend *against* SCSI drives. I have one last legacy SCSI disc on my systems, and it's there until it dies. That said, since it's an old full height 5 1/4 inch seagate boat anchor of a drive, that might be forever...;-)
They are finicky, easy to mess up, hard to fix and not really worth the hassle in todays world of ATA 133 and SATA.
You spend vast sums of money&time on comparatively teensy little drives for a marginal performance enhancement.

Yes, the exasperation and cost (terminators ,cables, the right kind of adapters) was hardly worth it. ATTO wasn't too bad but Seagate was worthless, in this case. Atto's deal was that it was an Apple OEM card so they didn't technically support it.
On the plus side I'm not limited to a < 8 GB partition, which is a joke in OS X once you get a number of apps installed, and these drives will last a long time.
