Hold on a second ... Are you using a SCSI backplane? If so, that's the difference right there! ;->
SCSI backplanes and host adapters work very, very different on transient (or failure for that matter) than _any_ ATA or regular SCSI (without a backplane).
Hmmm... how is it a different matter? A scsi backplane has very little logic onboard other than what is required for the scsi id selection (unless that is hardwired too). I don't know any backplane that has logic that can understand the scsi protocol and could communicate drive removal or such to the controller... ?
