Sounds like a software issue to me -have you tried a fresh setup on another disk?

SCSI drives have had a decent Inquiry mechanism from the very beginning...

As psxphill correctly pointed out, the 128K limit is due to a bug (=bad/unclear specification) on many drives. There may be other limits - some SCSI HBAs have 64K DMA limits in hardware.
