Two thoughts... SCSI IDs are send by a 1-of-N code on the data lines, so
the fact that devices show up at the correct IDs means that the host can
assert data lines.
But 191 is 10111111 (hex BF) IIRC. Now that seems to be a significant bit
pattern, particularly as bit 6 is the '0' -- your host adapater wouldn't
happen to be device 6 on the SCIS bus, would it? (it's a common address
for the host adapter). Do you have any idea what the 'Type' should be?

this likely a

I weould think it's certainly a strong possibility. But maybe not. (No
