AmigaOS 4 doesn't use the phase5 cybppc.device, so the settings in there are irrelevent. Of course, you need the unit enabled in the CS PPC boot menu to cold boot from it, but once the OS4 kernel loads the cybppc.device.kmod from OS4 takes over and any settings in the CS PPC boot menu setup are not used at all. For the record I have it all set to automatic settings in the CS PPC boot menu. Unit 0 enabled.
The FlashROM is the latest, same as you, 44.71.
There _can be_ some issues with hard drives that have been used in the past many times with existing RDB's and/or Amiga partitions. If you have any way to totally wipe the drive and ensure there is no former RDB installed that might help. It's possible it is hanging up on that.
You may be able to do it with OS 3.9 - see what is in the RDB and if possible remove any filesystem in there just to see if it helps. But in most cases people have had to totally wipe the drive on another computer (ie. Windows or linux box).
That is only a theory now but I would try it. I keep an old adaptec PCI SCSI card around just in case I need to hook up the drive to my PC and access it to verify it's working or wipe it.

Thanks Darren, I wasn't sure if the OS4.1 cybppc.device used any of the settings from the boot menu.
I will look into the RDB of the drive and remove any existing partitions. One other thing you could try (if you don't mind?):-
ACTIVE Terminator --> CS PPC scsi Controller --> empty connector --> nothing at end of cable.
On my setup this still fails with boot floppy+CD(IDE).
I just tried the ST39102LW drive with AmigaOS 3.9, checked the drive is using synchronous+16-bit transfers (using Phase 5 UnitControl) and then did some speed tests with the old SCSIBench. I can get >10MB/s transfers (speed bar goes off the screen) with no errors.
Regards,
Stephen.
