Thanks.  There aren't any single-ended mode settings or anything, and I don't think it's differential.

When I turn on the computer - either with the drive in the enclosure (I was using that because of possible termination issues although I don't know that the enclosure has termination; I just suspect it may) or in the machine - it powers on with the machine, starts to spin, then shuts down after what seems like a diagnostic cycle.  That's regardless of the jumper settings.  I had tried experimenting with combinations of those 3 (Target Init, Unit Attn, and Term Power) at the suggestion of Sonic Purity.  I don't know if people here still know him.

Long story short, neither of us could figure it out so I assumed it was the adapter.  When my 2gb 50pin died last week I started fiddling with it again and got another adapter [literally the only two different ones I could find on Amazon].  I'm open to suggestions about adapters but I increasingly have trouble believing that's it.
