Ok, I should have been more precise: I's not found **w/o** setting
wdcdebug_mask! Ie, using a freshly compiled or downloaded, vanilla
kernel - GENERIC, INSTALL, or self-configured - doesn't matter,
without any further changes such as setting wdcdebug_mask doesn't find
the disk.
As another poster has said, the disk _is_ detected by vanilla kernel
if there's another disk or cdrom on the same cable (just confirmed by
attaching the dvd-burner in this machine to the cable the disk is on.)
I've even tried some tool from the samsung web-site to configure the
disk to do only Ultra/100 instead of Ultra/133 - to no effect.

BTW: FreeBSD, Linux, Windoof have no problems at all finding this
beast.
