Do you have proper termination of the 68pin channel. Wide-SCSI is
extremely sensitive to this and I find many people using
Fast-SCSI without a terminator don't notice problems until they
introduce a Wide drive into the mix.

FWIW I have a 2940UW with two Ultra-Wide SCA drives using SCA to 68pin
converter. I couldn't access the second drive unless I enabled
termination on the second drives SCA converter.
