Off topic? This is pretty darn on topic compared to a lot of the active threads these days!

Are you connecting this to a Cyberstorm board? You need active terminators at both ends of the chain (Terminator -> Cyberstorm -> Drive -> Terminator). And the Cyberstorm is a picky controller. You might need to play with the firmware settings and other jumpers on the drive to get it working. Took me quite a long time to get my newest drive up and running!
