You didn't say, but you did disable termination in the tape drive when
you tried the cable that has its own terminator, right?

I would ask your brother-in-law to try your tape drive in his system. If
it works, get him to try your SCSI adapter. Unless you know for sure
that it works, the test you did with the old CD-ROM drive you have only
proves there is a problem, which we know.
