Hi there, as for your SCSI problems, I would first take out
and re-insert the DataFlyer card several times, and do the
same with any internal SCSI ribbon cables. Oxidation could
be a problem. SCSI is not, in my experience more tempermental
than IDE, for me IDE is way more trouble. I suppose for some
people setting SCSI IDs, termination, etc. can be a pain....
Maybe check these things...though once I had 2 SCSI devices
set to the same ID, and the Amiga still could 'see' them..

I had a DataFlyer SCSI on my A500 back in the day, not nearly
as reliable as the Supra system that replaced it.

It is possible that the rough handling from UPS could have
caused damage, but IIRC, hard drives are designed to handle
an impact of 10 g's...(So I have read...)

Anyway, good luck.
