Smartmontools strange error

[Jason Andresen]

I have a disk array on a machine:

And I'm having some odd behavior with Smartmontools.  Most of the drives 
work fine, however ad20 returns what looks like corrupted data:

SMART is only available in ATA Version 3 Revision 3 or greater.
We will try to proceed in spite of this.
SMART support is: Ambiguous - ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE words 82-83 don't show 
if SMART supported.
A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more 
'-T permissive' options.


Of course smartctl refuses to work with this drive (it works with all of 
the other ones).  My first thought was that the firmware on the drive 
was somehow corrupt, but the drive otherwise appears to work fine.  It 
even works pefectly if I use the DOS based disk manager that came with 
the drives (MaxBlast I think it was called). 

For comparision, a normal drive returns something like:

Is there something I can do to make that drive happier?
