I have a similar situation, but have the Connor drive at ID0 with
no problems at all.  Maybe it's only specific models that are
troublesome?
  
Configuration:  Adaptec 2940,
ID0: Conner CFP1080S
ID1: IBM DCAS 32160
ID3: Sony CDU76S (cdrom)

(I can't remember at the moment which has the termination)
