Looks like you need to remove the termination SIPs (these are Single
In-line Package resistor networks) from the Quantum drive and install
them on the Sony drive. These devices (the SIPs) are usually mounted
close to the 50 pin connector. There will probably be three of them,
and they are about 20 mm long, with 8 pins. They should be in sockets,
though it may not look like it, as many drive manufacturers use zero
profile sockets. Just pull them out, move them to the other drive, and
try again.

Hope this helps.
