If it is ultra3 then it should be a LVD drive, you will need to set a
jumper to force it to SE mode.  Is this done?  What are the jumper
settings?  You should be able to find information on setting up a
similar drive on the <http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/> database.  There
are usually reports of problems/successes that can be helpful.

I am sure they are available from OWC <http://eshop.macsales.com/>,
though there may be other and better places to try.
