	Indeed - this sounds like it _could_ be bad news.
	Check the SCSI ID on the drive - if it comes set as SCSI ID 7
	then you'll get exactly that behaviour (fujitsu seem to ship
	drives set for ID 7 nowdays - bizarre). Check its set for ID 3,
	and see if the drive light flickers when you do the probe-scsi.
	Apart from that do the traditional check on cables.

	Try both with & without the CD-rom drive (and make sure the
	CD-rom has a different ID to the drive :) - id 6 is best).
	Try the CD-rom drive on its own to see if you can pick that up.

	If you cant pick up either device then its possible your SCSI
	fuse has blown - I think I have a couple of spare ones lying
	around here - I could drop one in the post :)
