The drive is indeed an Ultrastar 18XP, so the model description in the=20=

dmesg puzzled me also. And I also believe the 8500 scsi controller is=20
Single Ended. Thanks for the tip about the jumper setting. I'll try=20
that tonight when I get home - hopefully I can figure out the proper=20
setting.
