Robert,
I know this sounds dumb, but you need to be careful about SCSI termination.
Most SCSI devices are very picky about the voltage levels which are affected
by termination. Make sure you are terminated in two and only two places -
preferably on the ends of your SCSI cable. I must confess that this has
screwed me up (along with a blown "pico-fuse") numerous times when trying
to hook up different SCSI devices.
FWIW, I have Motorola MVME147, OMTI 5400, Archive Viper, and Micropolis
Imbedded SCSI devices.
Also, make sure you only have one device (and at least one ) providing
power to the SCSI bus. If you have none, there's your problem. If you have
two, I think you risk blowing something.
Mark
