Here's a puzzling problem to which perhaps someone out there has a viable solution:
I recently purchased a SCSI hard drive, 18Gb IBM DGHS-18Y. Its ID is set to 2, and if I understand the documentation correctly, it is self-terminating (take that, Arnold!). Also, it is plugged in to an Adaptec 2930 (there is a 50-pin adapter on the drive itself) in a B&W w/XLR8 G4/500.
The drive shows up perfectly well when I boot do OS 9.2.2, but whenever I boot to OS X (currently Panther, but also tried a Jaguar bootable CD) it absolutely refuses to exist! I've gone back to OS 9 and done a low-level format and all-zero, updated the driver, and still no sign of it in OS X. I do hear a couple of quick accesses to the drive while X is in the early stages of boot, and even very briefly and occasionally while X is running. It seems as though, somewhere deep, deep down inside, X knows it's there, and it's taunting me, throwing its ghostly existence in my face at every turn! ;-)
I welcome any and all suggestions from our knowledgeable listers out there.
