I'm new to Linux, but I've been working on computers for years, so let
me ask a question that's naive, yet (I hope) insightful :-) :
Wouldn't an "EATA" driver be for "Extended ATA", that is, EIDE? It
doesn't seem to have much to do with SCSI.
So yes, try removing it.

On standard PCs, the A: or B: status of a disk is determined by
whether it's before or after the twist in the controller cable. Just
switch your other drive to the opposite position on the cable.
