Yes, 7 ;) (only 7 non-host SCSI ID's, for those who don't know
SCSI).
Check that you have the last device terminated, and no others,
also check that aren't trying to use the same ID as one of
the internal devices (hinv output helps).
Make sure you have good external cables, not the parallel port
printer cables that happen to look similar (and aren't!).
