Not quite: Here is the way I did it:

SCSI card terminated---HD id=0---CD id=1, terminated.
I should probably have the cable checked -- has a couple
nasty folds in it...

I know nothing about termination power on the bus; how
would I check this? If the HD is in the middle of the
bus, would this matter?

Wait, let me see if I read this correctly. You have

SCSI card (terminated) --- HD id=0 --- CD id=1 --- terminator

Did I get that right?

Are you sure you have termination power on the bus? Some
drives supply it, some don't. If you had a drive that did
supply it and you replaced it with a drive that didn't
supply termination power then you will have problems.

Your cables are fine? Just last week I couldn't get a box
running with a SCSI card, turns out I had a crimp in my
cable. *sigh*
