I've had this problem too.  It was a pain-in-the-ascii to figure out,
too.  My problem was that I had too many terminators.  From what I know,
the Apple Scanner and the CD-ROM do _not_ have terminators.  I have no
idea aobut the other two.  What you should probably do is hook up the
Scanner, CD, Rodime and see if the system works.  Then take out the
Rodime and put in the Tape Backup.  Check again.  That's what worked for
me.
 
 The other problem could be identical SCSI-IDs.  These are even worse.
 I have not cure.  :-)

Good luck!
