Thanks for the error identification. The other drive is of a *different* model. This drive showed this behavior from the day I bought it. The drive could be going bad, but I doubt it. Is it possible that this manufacturer (Conner) has some peculiar implementation of the spec? I recall reading on this list sometime back of similar workarounds to unusual drives.

Can I turn on debug mode in runtime, or do I need to recompile ide-scsi?
