There are a few people I know that have been having problems with
Adaptec AHA-2940AU/UW controller's unless power is supplied to the
terminator. Using bus power created problems for those systems.

I have also had a bad power connector on an internal power supply. It
is usually the one on the end of the daisy chain. If you have a free
power connector you might replace the connector you are using to power
the CDROM with a free one. If you don't, add a Y cable and then use
the new connector for power.

I have also hooked a scsi cable incorrectly. Nothing on the scsi
controller worked when I did that. You can't hook a scsi cable up to a
CDROM off one pin like you can some devices. Nothing worked when you
do that either. It seems like you end up with a ground on a data line
or power.
