For the archives:
After additional testing.. It appears that there was issues at U320
speeds even w/ the 500MB disk... Slowing down to U160 made the 500MB
disk work, but the >2TB disk wouldn't be recognized... I have also
tried a different cable, and w/ the different cable, the >2TB disk
shows up at U320 speeds, but sees broken behavior, the same as a
small disk... The broken behavior at U320 being transfer rates in the
100-200KB/sec as ahd constantly resets...

I found a LSI (mpt) based card, and it's working great...
