Scanjet 5p SCSI conflict?

Comment:
My Scanjet 5p starts to scan after I press the green button and click scan. But it stops before completing the scan if I have my Teac CD-R55S in the scsi chain. It works fine if I take the CD drive out.

Make sure that both devices dont have the same SCSI ID; also the last device in the SCSI chain must be terminated.
Good Luck

I have assigned unique SCSI IDs to each device, changed their physical order in the chain, and tried internal and external terminators... all to no avail.
I believe the problem lies with the Scanjet 5p. The book says it will pass the SCSI through if it is in the middle of a chain or will auto-terminate if it is at the end of chain. All I see are two SCSI II connectors and an ID selector.
I think it is failing do to it's internal circuitry when it starts to send scanned info down the chain.
Has anyone else had this problem with this scanner?

Could it have something to do with the fact that SCSI bus is not supplied termination power on a G3? http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n6159
