Ha! I had the same problem with my IBM UltraStar, I was about to return the drive when I looked at it and saw a couple of pins horizontally while the other were vertical I believe it was for the terminator, and after that I low-level formatted but no matter what the mac would not start-up the drive, it only mounted with FWB after startup. Turns out I needed to put another jumper, this time in a couple of pins called "autostart drive", it did the trick.
