Other comments on this list seem to suggest putting the firewire card in slot 1. start with that. Your internal drive should have its own terminator resistors (really old) or a TE (terminate enable) jumper. I assume your syquest and zip are external. If so, the zip has a terminate switch as well. The firewire drive is a completely different interface and has nothing to do with your internal SCSI and its termination. You say installers are saying files are corrupt. When did you last rebuild your desktop and do you have frequent crashes? Have you run test utilities on your internal drive?
