Is this cdrom a wide device? Or do you have the connector to do wide->scsi II? I have a 2940uw on the shelf, and it can do scsi 2 and wide on different cables. hmmmmm. ok, anyway, the reason I would move the id# to 0 would be because I have run into problems with the ncr driver. In spots the ncr driver does a target mask using hex 0x07, instead of hex 0x0f. That meant that targets 8 - 15 were unusable. I am guessing here.
