I'm trying to get an ASUS PCI with the NCR SCSI adapter to work with a
Wangdat 3100.  There are already two Seagate Barracudas working there,
IDs 0 and 1, 0 being terminated; they work well.  However, I'm had
bizarre problems trying to add the tape drive.

Specifically, here's what I get from Linux 1.2.1 or 1.2.13:

    scsi0 : target 5 lun 0 request sense failed, performing reset
    scsi0 : DANGER : NCR53c7xx_reset is NOP

and it hangs.  ID 5 is the tape.

This happened every time Monday.  Yesterday I took the drive, having
been disconnected for some hours, and put it in a SCSI Wintel machine;
it worked.  I brought it back, changing nothing, and plugged it in; *it
worked*.  I rejoiced, took the system down to set the software-eject
enable jumber; it still worked.  I rebooted this morning, and it failed.
Power-cycled; it failed.

I have not seen the "drive fault" LED on.  The BIOS identifies the model
of the drive correctly.

What does it mean?  What do I do?  Is it just a cabling/termination
problem?  I've already tried a different cable, and have tried using the
tape as terminator instead of the disks (not as good because it's
passive).  I'm lost.
