I have a 36GB SCA drive in my 9500. SCA drives are a real PITA to get working. I ended up having to put it on the secondary SCSI stream in my 9500 because it would not reliably work on the primary one. However, they _do_ work.
The only suggestions I can make is that you ensure that the drive is correctly terminated and that the jumpers are set correctly - like you suggest. There is one that sets a delay for spin up. Might need to set that one. Zap your PRAM too, and also could try the CUDA button. It took me two days to get mine to work, but once it started to work, life was much simpler ;-) I have no idea exactly what it was that I did, but it was a painfully drawn out experience. Beware though. I had an 8GB SCA drive prior tot he 36GB one (I think it was a Quantum Viking or something - the 36GB one is Seagate IIRC) and it _NEVER_ worked. No matter how hard I tried. At best it would initialise and then loose all data after a reboot. Hope that helps somewhat (?!) M -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
