>From memory I believe some internal SCSI tape drives have an internal
scsi 'end terminator'   (all scsi cables have to have a terminator at the
end of the chain).   However, usually there is a switch or link on the tape
drive to disable/enable the scsi terminator.    So, what you need is basically:



SCSI ADAPATER----------------DRIVE_1--------------------------DRIVE_2---|

where -| represents the scsi terminator.

If drive 1 is terminated when it shouldnt be drive2 wont see the signals I
guess !!
