If you think this is SCSI drive related (any error message?)
look at the following:

	- Check for correct SCSI bus termination (both sides)
	- Card should supply termination power
	- Ancient cables and high transfer speeds do not mix.
          ( Change cables or set reduced transfer speeds)
	- Check for correct SCSI bus termination (both sides)
	- Tagged queuing and old drives can be a problem.
          (disable tagged queuing or update drive firmware) 
	- Check for correct SCSI bus termination (both sides)

good luck

PS: Did I tell you to check the SCSI bus termination ? ;-)
