David,
That jumper they reference in the manual isn't clear to my reading what
state it needs to be in. You may need to try both settings and see if it
makes a difference.
As for the additional messages that is to be sure you see output from the
hardware tests which should list the SCSI controller and any devices
connected to the controller, along with your other devices. These messages
allow you to check the actual hardware setup, verify your BIOS settings.
If changing the jumper, or pulling out any PCI cards in the slots mentioned
in the manual with that jumper, you have me stumped.
I'd suggest it may be time to contact the manufacturer or vendor and ask
them if there is some secret to getting the SCSI working, or if they have a
diagnostic utility to test the SCSI. You may just have a bad board.

Well it has two SCSI ports on the motherboard, has an
option to enable/disable it in the CMOS, and was
advertised as having a SCSI Ultra 360 controller. If
it doesn't, I want my money back.

It's not a CD drive, it's a hard drive. It is indeed a
68-pin. It's as simple as plugging it in.

There is a terminator at the end of the cable. If
you're asking about something else, then I don't
understand what you mean.

It is open, which is the default.

I've done all that. The summary screen doesn't show
any SCSI drives, although I don't think it showed my
SATA drive either but it's definitely working. I
couldn't tell what the diagnostic screen setting did
but I enabled it. The boot priority list is actually
an oddity It does list "PCI SCSI" but beside it it
lists my SATA drive, not the SCSI drive. I am certain
of this because it lists it as a Western Digital drive
but my SCSI drive is a Hitachi. I am really confused
why it lists the SATA drive under SCSI. When I disable
SATA, it doesn't list a drive beside SCSI, although
the option is still there in the boot priority list.
I'm not sure what the deal with that is.
