You were using an Adaptec HVD (differential) SCSI controller, I hope?
Standard single-ended and LVD (low voltage differential) controllers
won't work with an HVD drive like the 9348, unless you use one of the
fairly rare SE/HVD adapters.
OK, I'd like to ask, where did you get your info?
All the reseller sites list the 9348-012 as SE, and the one piece of
IBM documentation I've found lists some other drives as differential,
but shows the 9348-012 as simply SCSI.
Ahh, here, in comp.unix.aix, the recommended SCSI adapter for the
9348 on PCI RS/6000 is FC 6208. That's a single-end adapter.
