With v3.6, I think you have to add the signature to the driver file in 
the kernel sources and recompile. Damned long time since I've looked at 
them, but the file should be in /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi. Look for 
fdomain.h. I've got a 1680 v3.5 and have two external hdds and an 
external tape drive hanging off it. Works fine. Hope this helps.
