ID 7 is usually the factory default for the controller.

I usually set my tape drives to 11 or 13. Does your cable have an active terminator on the end of it? A black box that runs the length of the cable on the end. If not, did you set termination on the last device? I usually use active termination on my SCSI cables.

25+ years of SCSI. Termination is the key. Only a few bad cables in those years. Usually bad termination. I have even seen a device show up on all 15 IDs from bad termination or no termination.
