Another, lesser, possibility is that the 9ZX UltraStar is really an
LVD drive running in SE mode. I've had mail-order companies ship me LVD
drives when I've ordered plain F/W SCSI drives (I've ordered plain F/W
UltraStar 9ES drives, but received LVD UltraStar 9ES drives instead).
The difference is that LVD drives running in SE mode need an external
terminator. Look for the white label on the drive. My LVD UltraStar
9ES drive has an "lvd" marking in the lower-right quadrant, and, if you
have an LVD drive, you may see a similar one.
