We are going through the same loop with a IIci and a SyQuest (from LaCie).  We 
have not yet resolved the situation but information from magazines and other 
netters suggest that trying an external termiation on the SCSI bus perhaps using
a IIfx external terminator with different addresses for the external drive might
help.  We have not tried this yet.  I'm just passing on what I've heard.

One article in a recent MacUser or MacWorld (I'm sorry but I can't supply the
reference) described a similar problem and solution.  Does any one else
remember this article?
