Make sure it's set to SCSI ID 3, and make sure that you have parity
disabled. Also, disable the on-driver terminator since there is no need to
enable it for such a short cable (the internal one is only a few inches, so
it hardly needs termination that close to the host controller).

Regards,

Craig.
