I'm using a 701C with an ADAPTEC Slim SCSI connected to a a Sony 4X CDROM and a ZIP drive. No problem!! BTW- It doesn't matter what order you put the CD or ZIP. Its all a matter of terminating the last device. I think the panasonic SCSI is the source of your problem. I was told that the panasonic SCSI intersface WILL NOT work with anything other than the Panasonic CDROM, even though the CDROM will work with other SCSIs.
