there is your problem. the ID 7 is reserved for the scsi controller itself. try anything but 7. most macs use ID 0 for the internal HD, 3 for a cd drive. i tend to give removables a id of 2 and 3, scanners 4 ot 5 and a second internal drive 1. but thats just me...
A good system that works for me is using 0 upwards for internal and 6 downwards for external stuff. That way you have the maximum possibility of avoiding ID conflict issues. Also I insist on having SCSIProbe in the Control Panels folder on all my older machines in order to inspect and confirm IDs.
This issue is I believe with the Jackhammer NuBus card and not the IIfx onboard SCSI, thus the weird chips ought not to be a problem here.
Also I personally never ever use 3rd party SCSI drivers on hard disks, unless they have been proven conclusively not to work with the standard Apple drivers. I use patched versions of either HD SC Setup (System 6/7 or UNIX) or Drive Setup (8.0 onwards).
