Ok, first, what SCSI setting do you have on the drive? It must not be 0
or 7. Second, have you terminated the SCSI chain? The terminator is a
resistor that plugs into the second SCSI port on the drive, or is
internal to the drive itself and is switchable. Third, you should
upgrade to at least 7.5.5 (preferably to 7.6.1) as the OS you are running
is very unstable. I believe these are free upgrades.
