O.K., FUJITSU DISK is seen at SCSI-Id 0

?!?, HP DAT is seen, but no message about it's SCSI-Id

Here, a write to SCSI-Id 0 fails (what is at ID 0: DISK or DISK and DAT
?)
My suggestion: possibly Your HP-DAT drive uses SCSI-Id 0 too ?
This would result to conflict with Your DISK.
Check the jumpering of HP-DAT drive - if it's jumpered to ID 0,
You have to change this to 2,3,4,5, or 6 (the controller itself
is normally at ID 7).
