The other is that by swapping the drives around like you did, confused the machine. Did you connect the old drive in the Sitecom case when the Pismo was on, or was the Pismo off when you connected it?
I recommend double-checking the jumpers, then starting from a MacOS 9 CD if you can. Holding 'C' when booting will force OpenFirmware to load from the CD and it should boot, even in a confused state. Use Startup Disk to select the drive that is currently internal and restart. It should clear up the problem.
Another thing you should probably check is that the cable to the HD is properly seated on both ends. I did a very bad thing when I installed my 40GB Hitachi into my Lombard and forgot to check the end connected to the logic board. Suffice it to say, I had fun reformatting and reinstalling 5 days later.

i attached a new fire wire Toshiba 30 GB hard disk to my Pismo 400 by
placing it in a case firewire case from SITECOM. art.no CN-600.
It didn't show up at the desk top. After taking the firewire plug in and
out many times after eachother, it showed up. I formatted it and installed
system 9. Fine.
Then i switched the disk with the original internal disk and started up.
Fine.
Then i connected the old disk externally (by placing it in the sitecom
case) to the machine and it stalled. it was stuck.
Now i switched the disks back and forth and in and out but it won't start
up at all anymore. Not even from the start up CD.
it keeps looking for a system wich it doesn't seem to find anymore.
On each hard disk is a system folder.
Before it totally refused to work i ran over it with all possible repair
and check applications and they repaired quite al lot, but now...What to do? Who has any sugestions!
Thanx, sakshin
