Fujitsu suggested not only removing the terminator on the drive (not indicated
in the documentation that comes with it), the strap for synchronous SCSI, 
and a the strap on CNH1 pins 23-24, which has something to do with terminator
power source.  Whichever of these was most important, I don't know, but
the drive now is recognized, and is in use without errors logged.

I did get a few responses, mostly about SCSI itself, rather than the
particular drive.  Each was responded to individually.  I have left the
drive strapped to SCSI-1, also - after all of the changes, I don't know
if setting to SCSI-2 would also work.  As long as the drive is smaller than
1 GB, I believe there is no problem - I think SCSI-1 doesn't address higher
block numbers.
