Just for the heck of it, did you try using the UW connector as well, or
just the U2W connector? Did you get the same results? If so, perhaps
the controller is bad.

Hmm. Not sure what to have you try next, except perhaps trying the UW
bus instead and then only one device at a time. Again, it could be the
card is bad. Are you sure you have termination at the end of the chain?
Is one of the devices providing it or is it a separate terminator? Active
or Passive? Just exploring the possibilities.
