IIRC, the 1040B is a high-voltage differential (HVD) adapter.
SCSI is most commonly either single-ended (SCSI-1, SCSI-2, Ultra
SCSI) or low-voltage differential (Ultra2 or greater). HVD was
a stop-gap standard between SE and LVD, and it's electrically
compatible with neither one. HVD controllers only work with HVD
drives, and vice versa. :(
Just to confirm this, you can either look for a "SCSI DIFF" label
next to the card's external SCSI port, or look for an array of
eight yellow resistor packs--next to the external SCSI
port--running parallel to the internal SCSI connectors. Either
one means you've got an HVD card.
