You can get "ringing" on a SCSI device from bad or loose cabling which will
generate a lot of SCSI errors. There are limits to cable lengths and you

That's hardware, most likely scsi termination issues or cabling issues.
I have seen these errors lots of times when using a high speed scsi

on a tape drive. Sometimes you can play with the settings on the
controller or flip switches on the drive to get things to work, sometimes
