The Viking was the last drive on the chain. I tried playing with the
termination jumper (read: what I thought was the termination jumper, left my
specs somewhere else :-(, but to no avail. I connected a borrowed CD-Writer
(PLEXTOR CD-R PX-R412C Rev 1.04) with correct termination to the end of the
chain to make sure it was no termination problem, but that didn't help.

Then I removed the Viking from the chain, and everything worked fine. Could it
be that the cable was too long to use FAST-20 transfers with the Viking? It was
about 75 cm long.

Geert,

You still probably have a termination problem. You say that the CD-R
works fine. This is a narrow device and only terminates the narrow
signals. The best thing is to use a wide active terminator at the end of
the cable.
