I have an emulex controller and a micropolis 1335 that are working on it properly. When I try to do surface analysis or format the new drive (using stand/diag) I get lots of "sense errors" and "illegal parameter" errors. The jumpering is right, I have checked the cables and addresses. What else should I do?
