I myself am using firmware 4.8.0 at the moment, but it turns out there is an update which fixes a bug:
Fix bug when writing with multiple SCSI devices on the chain (4.8.1, 6.2.0).

I might have inadvertently tested adding a CDROM on the external SCSI bus with firmware 4.8.0.
Gerry_Man and MrWeedster, what are your firmware versions?

Thanks Dexter1,

I see that my SCSI2SD board  V5.0b is now discontinued....This is the smaller RED PCBA.

They have two new board designs released.....V5.1 and V6.0 as shown below:

The V5.0b and V5.01 use the same Firmware and software so that's good.
Firmware and Software are available here:

My SCSI2SD is currently running firmware 4.8.0 also.
I'll give the new firmware a shot. Hopefully this will rectify my SCSI BUS communication issue.

If it doesn't work, I'm going to try the DINA route again.

I'll report back with the results.

Thanks for all the Tips here guys! Cool Biggrin 
Cheers!
