This has been my experience with j-b technologies, also.  Lousy deal.
No spec sheets.  Gave me completely wrong information on a Rodime SCSI
drive.  ("Take all jumpers off the jumper block to configure it to
drive 0."  Yeah, right.  Took me two weeks to figure out that that was
completely wrong.)

Sure the drive was cheap.  But it still is not working.
