The SCSI controller usually occupies ID 7, so the drive CAN'T be that ID. Most macs I've played with will boot the first HD they find reguardless of ID, so assuming no other devices are present, and termination is set properly, any id other than 7 should be fine. (If your enclosure is setup for 'wide' scsi and allows IDs above 7, they are right out as well.) Joshua Coombs -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
