I believe that with the Tekram you must have your devices numbered consecutively.
In that case you MUST have the controller card set at scsi id 7 (the default), set your other devices at 0 and 1.
Make sure that the last device on the scsi chain is terminated and that the controller card is also terminated.
What happens is that if no device 0 is found the card normally stops scanning but in your case you either have them both at the same id or it is not terminated correctly.
