Maybe. My clone ST-02 [Yes I had a _CLONE_ of one of those things] was
retired earlier this month and replaced with an AHA1540B donated by a nice
man at Sift. The ST-02 never worked well and I don't know if it was the
unit, the cables or the drivers. The AHA1540B is a bit old in the tooth
too but its a lot better.

I suspect the sensible answer is
1. Check all the cabling and termination
2. Buy a real SCSI card ;)
