There are several possibilities.

 - your cabling or termination isn't right for Ultra160.  (You need a
   "twisty flat" cable with a terminator block on the end.)
 - you jumpered the drives for single ended mode
 - the SCA->HD68 adapters don't do LVD

I would guess that the last one is probably the problem, since the first
two are more obvious.
