  Thanks, Josh - I hadn’t thought about using an extender card "backwards".  That's a good idea.  Next question is "how many extender cards do I have?"...  Better go start digging.

  In the meantime I did some more fooling around with the diagnostic and discovered that it's apparently not really a stuck command bit after all.  The tests are failing are #30 and #31, "VERIFY THAT RECALIBRATE INHIBITS LOAD COMMAND" and "VERIFY THAT RECALIBRATE INHIBITS LOAD DISK ADDRESS".  Sounds like a problem with the recalibrate function instead.
