I never had problems with the HDs at the end of the chain as they are internally terminated. In my case, the total length of the SCSI bus is slightly below 2 m. I usually have two SCSI HD disks and the CD-ROM on it. I remember several postings last year and the SCSI FAQ comp.?.hardware.scsi mentioning how sensible to termination problems the Adaptec cards were.

I did have a problem before with the scsi cable which I posted to here - basically what it kept doing was writing to the hard drive in wrong places, corrupting things when accessing the cdrom I have connected. Turned out that it was the cable and I've never had any trouble since then. Perhaps it could be the hard drive, but then again, I wouldn't know about that - both my scsi disks are SCSI-2 and yours is a SCSI-3, perhaps it doesn't like them for some reason?
