This seems to be a Seagate Barracuda 18LP drive. It's 18GB, with a 68pin
connector. It is LVD (Ultra2Wide - 80MB/s). No termination on the drive. You
WILL need external termination. LW models usually have onboard termination,
but since this is a LVD model, it doesn't have it.
http://www.seagate.com:80/cgi-bin/view.cgi?/scsi/st318275.lw for info on
your drive.

This happens to be a regular UW card. You are running the UW chain at 40MB/s
(half of your drive). In theory, your drive should be able to switch over to
running in UW SE mode. Some drives aren't too backward compatible. Jumper
set J2 at the front of the drive has a pin #8 that if jumpered will force
your LVD drive to run in SE mode.
What I would recommend getting a LVD capable card like the Adaptec 2940U2W.
Notice the 2 between the U and W. That means it's a Ultra2 Wide card.
If you can't force the drive to work with the card right, either change the
drive for an SE model (don't think there's one for this family) or get a U2W
capable card. Sorry dude. If you want, I can trade you for it depending on
where you are. Get you a 18GB SE drive and you trade me your LVD :) Don't
count on it though, I'm in the US right now.
Hope this helps.
Daniel
