Thanks for your quick response.

I understand your confusion. I should have said that the SCSI Select
setting for both channels is "automatic".
The configuration is as follows.

WDE9100W = ID 0
JUMPERS = 13/14, 23/24
SCAM DISABLED = 17/18 OPEN

IOMEGA ZIP 100 = ID 5

2940UW    = ID 7
TERMINATION WIDE = AUTOMATIC
TERMINATION NARROW = AUTOMATIC

I find no selection for "Low OFF, High ON". The selections are
"AUTOMATIC", "ENABLE", "DISABLE". Is this possible due to BIOS upgrades?
My card is at 2.11.0.

It is the 68 pin version, no adapters used. Single perif. cable.

Did not find SCAM selection.
