I just got my HD, a Seagate Barracuda 9LP. So far, probe-scsi-all anbd
probe-scsi fails to detect any drive at all. Are there any special
jumper settings I need to enable in order to get this drive to work with
my Ultra-2? The stock Sun 2.1GB that came with the ultra-2 works fine
and is detected by probe-scsi OK. So far, the only thing I can conclude
is that this drive should work with the ultra-2 and is DOA. Does
probe-scsi require the drive to be low-level formatted in order to
properly detect the drives? Or, could the drive not be detected because
my ofw version is 3.1.5?

On the disk, set a jumper 'force single-ended'!

Ah, thank you very much! I assume the jumper is called "SS" (3rd pin
from the right) on J2. I'll try it out in a couple of minutes here...

I did some searching through the Seagate docs, and they said to put a
jumper across the first set of pins on J2 called "LVD". Unfortunately,
those pins are labelled "NU" or "not used", so it looks like I can't
force single-ended operation on this model. Well, I'll give it a try
anyways, and if that doesn't work, I'll try to uprade my OFW.

According to
http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/scsi/st39173wc.html
(Installation Guide)
the jumper LVD on J2 needs to be set.

I just checked on my particular model. There is no "LVD" jumper,
unfortunately. Some models have a "SE" jumper whereas others have "LVD"
jumpers. My model just says "NU", for "not used".

Bad luck :-(
I have no other idea.
