My SCSI card is id 7 and the CDROM is id 3, both of which seems 
reasonable.
The CD ROM is on the internal interface. There is nothing on the external
interface.

I've set termination on the Cumana adapter (done from software), but 
there
doesn't appear to be any termination on the Sony CDU-561 CD ROM drive
(its one that came out of an old MEU unit), and none of the jumpers at 
the
rear of the drive enable termination. 

I'm assuming that, as a result, there is no termination, and I've got a 
resistor
pack on order.

However, the CD-ROM works normally (under RISC OS), happily passes the
diag tests that Cumana's SCSIDiag program runs, and I can get as far as 
getting
the NETbsd kernel to load off it. What happens in the scsibus0 phase?
