Drives working can be a quite random occourance, from what i have read backwards compatibility with scsi1 was in the scsi spec for U160 but it was removed from the U320 spec, so U160 drives are a better bet (as for if being able to set it to single ended helps, i don't know) Another thing worth looking out for is some drives actually have a narrow mode, any drive with a narrow mode should work
Also, just so you know, I make and sell terminated 50pin to 80pin adapters (which also have the 8 unused data lines terminated on the 80 pin hdd, allowing some of the more fussy drives to work)
