Since I swapped out cables, then I'm pretty much concluded that it's bus
controller funkiness.  Since the CD drive is the only thing attached,
changing order is a little tough.  I've tried changing IDs to no avail.

Beginning to think there's no such thing as a working minidock of any kind.
On my Apple minidocks, only one of the combined total of four serial ports
ever worked right, even if with all the Appletalk/printer/etc. settings
finagled in the correct ways.  The first UltraDock I got wouldn't see
anything on the SCSI chain, but I figured this one was OK when it saw my
SyQuest EZFlyer 230.  Oh well.

Thanks all.

- Eric.
