Apologies for the cross-posting...

There IS something going on with this combination: Adaptec's boot 
sequence consistently times out on these drives, regardless of what else 
is in the system.  An ST31200N at id 0 shows fine, the ST32151N 
eventually comes back as variations on "device not ready".  NCR-based 
controllers (Asus SC-200 and Symbios 8150S) and Tekram 390 do NOT exhibit 
this behavior.  Doesn't matter what id the ST32151N is at, or if it's the 
only drive.

Smells like firmware, but whose?  Adaptec BIOS is EC00, very close to 
latest.  Insights welcomed -- waiting on answers from Seagate and Adaptec.
