Attaching IBM 3590 to Ultra 60

We're trying to move a system from it's existing Ultra 1 (Solaris 2.6) to an
Ultra 60 (Solaris 8). Attached to the system are an Exabyte tape drive, an
IBM 3590 tape drive and a D1000.

While the D1000 and Exabyte work perfectly, the 3590 isn't recognized;
running probe-scsi-all at the PROM returns:

Fatal SCSI error at script address 10 Unexpected disconnect.

This line appears twice under the path name of the SCSI card. Booting up
Solaris doesn't help, and the device doesn't appear under /dev/rmt (even
after boot -r).

We're trying to attach this with a PCI dual differential SCSI card. We've
tried it in both ports on the card with the same results. The D1000 works
fine, reporting back all its disks under probe-scsi-all.

As far as cabling goes, we've tried a VHDCI-HD68 connector (direct to the
system) and a VHDCI-HD68 adapter to attach to the existing HD68-HD68 cable.
Neither option works, giving the error above.

The Ultra 1 sees the drive fine if we reconnect.

In case it's relevant the Ultra 60's OBP is at 3.23.

Anyone have any ideas? Google shows a few things related to that error, but
nothing which seems appropriate.

Summary as usual...
