Third Party 4D35 Disks (I'm being bit)

I had a nice, quiet, third party hitachi 3 1/2 drive in
my temporary 4d25, and when they upgraded to the 4d35, it
stopped working. I am discussing it with my supplier, but I
am curious what great design changes they made that broke a
very common disk drive (used in our sparcs too).
Someone mentioned that the SCSI controllers changed from
SCSI1 to SCSI2. Isn't it backwards compatible. Will other
SCSI devices suddenly break?
