Well, my guess is, that there is either some incompatibility between
the version of the NCR driver in 2.0.5R and the Barracuda, or your
SCSI cable is not up to the job and the Barracuda is more sensitive
to that kind of problem ...
Are you sure that there are excactly two terminators (i.e. is there
possibly one on the Barracuda) ?
The driver in the latest SNAP contains improvements that should make
it more robust in such situations. You may want to try booting from the
latest SNAP boot floppy and see whether that improves the situation.
Send mail, if you can't get it to work.
