Yersina, This is rev A rom which does not support master/slave drives on built in IDE bus (maybe under OSX?), meaning you can only have a single IDE drive on either IDE bus. (HD on one bus & the cd-rom on the other, both set to master). However, your problem is with a scsi drive. Is it hooked up to the G3 scsi bus or running off a scsi card mounted in a pci slot? Symptoms are indicative of what's called scsi voodoo..... which can be caused by scsi id conflict, improper/lack of termination, or bad cabling (sometimes the drive position in the scsi chain) etc. There's a program called scsi probe that can be used to mount balky scsi drives.
