Which level of the aic7xxx patch have you used for the aic driver?

Try to connect the HDD to the LVD bus. It should still work, even if it
is SE. Then, if your MB contains AIC 3860 chip, it probably has
electrically separated the LVD and SE buses. Then, you need to have
terminated your SCSI tape. If you use the SE Wide SCSI for your HDD and
narrow SCSI for the tape, I *** guess *** you should be terminating the
tape drive and the HDD as well, and switch off termination for the host
adapter - but then the adapter is not an end device.

SCSI IDs need to be different in any case.
