The "IBM DDRS-34560D" is an LVD drive (I've got this exact drive,
with the same firmware rev). For this IBM LVD drive, what appears to be
the "term" jumper is really the jumper that controls LVD vs SE HVD
(single-ended HVD), and "enabling termination" really puts the drive
into single-ended mode. You also need an external terminator with this
drive (with all LVD drives, actually); there is no built-in termination
to enable or disable.
As your diagram doesn't show an explicit external terminator with
the drive, that might be your problem: no termination.
[ In my case, I ordered a "wide SCSI" drive, expecting an SE HVD drive.
I received an LVD drive, instead. While this is certainly a "wide
SCSI" drive, it was unexpected, as I had to scramble to find some
ribbon cable termination. I'm not really complaining, mind you; I'd
rather have an LVD drive than a plain SE HVD one, as it'll be much
easier for me to upgrade to an LVD controller, should I decide to do
so. ]
