A parity error suggests that there's something wrong with the connection or the device.

That would stop everything from working. It's possible, though unlikely in this case, that the device is particularly sensitive to the bus load and termination. I've had a couple of drives like that, and you (Donald) have a lot of stuff on the chain. Could you try removing as much as possible (at least the DDS drive and the scanner, and any disks you can get by without for a test), and see if you can get it to work then.
