AHA-1740 SCSI errors

Does anyone know what might be causing the following errors in 2 P90 systems?
System 1 is a news server (full feed), system 2 is a mail server and 
shell access system.  Both have Adaptec 1740's and Micropolis drives:
MICROP    Model: 3243-19MZ  Q4D    Rev: HT02

The first also has a Conner 30540, the second a SCSI DAT drive.
Both seem to get large numbers of the same sort of errors, but the news 
server has a tendancy to lock up roughly weekly, while the other can go 
weeks at a time with no serious problems.

Since the errors come from all the SCSI devices, I'm guessing it's either 
a cabling or driver problem.  I doubt both controllers are bad, but we 
are using long cheap SCSI cables.  Anyone have any ideas?  I'm 
considering trying an NCR as a replacement since they're cheap and fast.
