I reset all jumpers to default (except floppy enable on the 1680)
and turned on the jumper in the tape drive which applies active
termination power. (the SCSI howto does recommend this, after all ...)

I also reset four "unused" jumpers on the tape drive to their 
defaults as pictured in the manual (wasn't delivered that way); 
who knows if that actually did anything.

Now it works like a champ. So whatever it was, it definitely wasn't 
an IRQ or address conflict. Thanks to all who helped.
