SCSI is much simpler than you all think it is:
The SCSI chain needs termination at each end.
Normally the disk is at 0 (terminated) and the CPU is at 7, also terminated.
Anything in between should not be terminated.
If you reassign the disk to 4, 5 or 6, then the CD at 3 needs to be terminated, and the disk un-terminated

*I checked two other CD drives and saw termination jumpers on them. That seems to fly against what has been discussed, however, I re-read Glen's post, that Apple CDD's have no termin.jumper, only Term.Power, and whether it is On or Off is okay. I saw HD pin prs. TE and TP; termin. -enabled, and termination-power. Can someone explain the differences? Some HD's are terminated w/resistor packs, parallel w/SCSI connector (no jumer pins.. oh boy); watch for such when using two devices in the same chain, to avoid double termination. At least, that is what I think.

Is it just me or does the last instruction contradict the third?
