  For the record, my solution was to get an Adaptec 2940UW controller. So
far I'm much happier.
  I didn't try with *just* four drives. 

  I also haven't been able to run with four drives on the 2940UW. However,
it has been suggested to me that the passive termination used by the
drives on the wide chain may be insufficient. I have ordered terminated 
cables from Adaptec, and I hope to try it.
  Part of the reason is that my fourth drive is SCA, and I don't know
how to terminate it with the SCA/wide adaptor I've got. So, I haven't
been able to properly test having just the SCA drive on my NCR controller
yet.
