This sounds very similar to a problem on the acorn SCSI card that got fixed 
just before 1.5 was release. Basically the SCSI code changed to do the SCSI 
bus scan with interrupts on instead of polled. I'll see if I can correlate the 
fix for the Acorn card with the code for the connect32. Can you build a kernel 
if I produce a patch?

ISTR the problem was that in interrupt driven mode a certain error was not 
being passed back to the machine independent SCSI layer so it can't tell 
at which ID's there is no device.

Sounds like the cards busted or it needs reflashing.

Acorn SCSI seems to work at least with CD-ROMs.
