Termnation should be ok, I think. I'm using my drives with external Sun boxes with power supplies; and the last one always has a (physical) terminator.
To be honest, I don't know whether my fastlane card should support my new drive;
but it does support wide Scsi-2 drives with adapter(-s). !?
Yes, I have installed my controller card properly.
And it is fully working.

Normally your first bootable SCSI drive should be ID 0. In most instances not having a jumper on any of the ID Pins = ID 0.
On a lot of the LVD/U320 drives these would be Enterprise type SCSI drives so make sure you don’t have a jumper for the motor start as this takes a queue to start up with a host controller that would tell the drive to start up.
Once you do get the drive to spin then that’s a good sign.
What I would do is try and add the new drive with the older drives and use the phase 5 SCSI tools such as “Unit Control” to see if it get recognised. But to do that try and set an ID which doesn’t conflict.
