Replaced the cable, replaced the MB, and got an active terminator.
The "ncr0:2: ERROR" message is gone but every few days I get
these 

Aug 20 18:21:38 rabtter /kernel: ncr0: timeout ccb=f1026000 (skip) 
Aug 20 18:21:38 rabtter /kernel: ncr0: timeout ccb=f1026800 (skip)
Aug 20 18:21:46 rabtter /kernel: ncr0: timeout ccb=f1026400 (skip)

and the filesystems freeze. Any hints, tips, suggestions?
