Doesn't have to be any particular SCSI ID. You don't need to do much of anything special to get 6.x to install. Just make sure you've got a tool that will format the drive. If it came out of a sun machine, it is likely that Apple HD SC Setup won't like it, so you'll need to download the A/UX version of HDSC Setup. Other than that, just make sure the internal drive is terminated and stick 'er in there, format 'er up, and install whatever you want. If you look on the drive manufacturer's website, it'll probably list the jumper settings. -Tyler -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
