--- You wrote: It seems like I did something that killed the second bus (ata bus 01). I've switched devices and cables around enough now to know that the only thing that seems not to work right is the bus itself.
Is there anything I could have done to cause this? Any way I can check it? When I put a bootable HD in bus 0, System Profiler simply shows nothing on bus 01. On the other hand, I can't get it to start up unless I do have something plugged in to bus 01. Any ideas anyone? Desperately, Joe --- end of quote --- I used to have drives and busses disappear on my Beige a lot. It seemed that if I shut down completely and let the drives stop, sometimes they would come back. I never did get to the bottom of this but it was not a hardware problem since I always got everything back eventually. The person who suggested multiple zaps of the prom probably has it right, or the reset button on the motherboard might work if nothing else. I don't believe you have a hardware problem. Finally, to avoid this and for the speed and additional drives, I bought a 133 ATA pci card. I now run three drives on the card and one on the motherboard bus (since I can't figure out how to cable for the 4th drive.) No more problems. (Beige MT, rev 1 motherboard, rev C rom.) Good luck.
