I have had really bad luck with those adapters. Worse with the 80 to 50 pin ones. I have to use Hard Drive Toolkit to get some of them to mount. I would recommend that people avoid SCSI drives with adapters.I have a beige G3 MT that I'm trying to add a 9.1 Seagate SCSI drive to the internal bus. The drive is a 68-pin, but I have a 50-pin adapter on it.
The drive doesn't show up in Drive Setup at all?
Are you terminating the drive with the jumpers on the adapter or the jumpers on the drive? Try both ways.
Have you tried disconnecting the IDE drive and booting off a CD?I tried the drive here at work on a PC to make sure it was actually working, and the drive is fine.
Do I have to do anything special to enable the internal SCSI bus? I've never used it up to now. Any clues?
I've found that OS9 is a lot more forgiving of SCSI termination problems than OSX.
