I am still having the same problem, too!  
I finally received SOME e-mail from a CBM guy who asked the same questions:
  1. Termination on last HD in SCSI chain?
  2. Is 2nd HD spinning up in time?
  3. Is reselection bit set to "NO" on both?

Of course I have answered these questions a <1000...> times. 8)
I wish CBM would just admit the problem is hw and not setup/operator error!
