I have seen a Wangtek 5150ES that had exactly the same problem.  It was
strapped for ID #4 but answered to all ID's except 0.  It worked fine
with a single disk drive at ID 0, but when a second disk was added at
ID 1 the second disk collided with the tape drive.  Took a while to figure
out what was going on.  The 5150ES that had this problem was serial
number 890843J8, assembly number 30601-201 Rev C.  U32 has the tag
23647-001 EOC4 and U30 has 23646-001 C700.
