Well I played with termination a bit, had it running for a while with termination on the drive (it's id 0 and physically last on the chain) disabled, but it started acting up after a power cycle.
Now it won't see the cdrom or the disk, and in the error log I get a few "I/O failed on pka0.0.0.2000.0 <hex dump>" and "mailbox I/O failed on pka0.4.0.2000.0, status = 8002" and "mailbox I/O failed on pka0.5.0.2000.0, status = 8006" I've tried different drives and different cables, too. The odd thing about the above error messages is that there is no id 5, just 0, 1 and 4. Anything else you can think of trying?
