Can't see Seagate 9G drives

We have an Alpha DEC3000-M800 OSF/1 V3.0 Firmware 6.4

We are trying to attach some Seagate ST410800N 9Gig drives. The current
setup has a Storageworks external drive to which we tried to daisy chain
the Seagate drives off of. A showdev does not recognize the new drives.

The bus length with all devices would be:

        5ft from machine to Storageworks
        3ft internal to Storageworks box
        2ft from Storageworks to 1st 9G drive
        1ft internal to drive
        2ft from 1st 9G drive to 2nd 9G drive
        1ft internal to drive
       -----
       15 ft total

We have since run a 5ft cable directly from the machine to one of the
9G drives with proper termination and still can not see the device.

Does anybody have any experience/ideas on what the problem may be?
