I need the exact message from the first error.  This is very important.

Another thing to try might be to lower the sync rate to 8MHz for all
of your drives.  It looks like you have an early revision 2940 with the
42.5MHz clock crystal which means that it will run the bus slightly too
fast and may be confusing the HP (this is known to happen on some
Quantum drives like the 1080S).  You can verify that this may be a
cause of your problem by looking at the rating on the clock crystal of
your card.
