SCSI Problem

Just installed a SCSI tape drive and CD Rom, on a PCI host adapter.
Computer recognises both gets to Verify DMI Pool Data and reboots.....:confused:
Host has ID0 CD has ID1 and Tape has ID4, and chain is terminated.
Anybody have any ideas on what could be wrong.

    Does the host adaptor call up a bios loaded message. Can you enter the host settings during boot up and run self test/diagnostics
    Correct cables, I use LVD (low voltage differential)

    Yes and no. Disconected the CD rom and boots, managed to install the adapter drivers after a fight with Windows INF. Tape is recognised in Device manager and spins up when a tape is inserted. Could the CD rom and tape drive be incompatable? I know the drive and adapter are SCSI2, the CD is an NEC cdr-1910a. The PC recognises the host and tape on boot but no option to enter SCSI BIOS or configuration utility...
