They may be otherwise identical, but you have _different_ "identical" 
components in each.  UW is pushing 20MHz + harmonics on each wire,
cables and terminators that will work with SCSI-2 (10MHz) may not
anymore.  Not to say it isn't your controller, but try swapping some of
your identical cables and terminators.
