The interleave *might* explain why Disk Tools didn't see it. Another thing to check is to make sure that the drive options (jumpers) are set to receive termination power from the external supply. The Plus is too wimpy to supply termination power. 6.0.8 is pretty snappy, isn't it? It and the Plus were made for each other.... --Cheers, Tom -- Prof. Thomas H.
