On reviewing that thread, the original poster was jumping to premature conclusions. Justin Gibbs told him there was no such problem (and Justin is well placed to know). Then the final post shows a trace with READ(10) commands failing. They are 32 bit lba read operations that have been the default for about 10 years in the SCSI subsystem. If those fail on that transport it is probably a termination problem. When Justin saw that he probably didn't bother responding again.
