Wouldn't know about OS X, I'm only on 8.1 and 9.1. But anyway -- <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?> It's on the G3 SCSI bus. <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.> Well, I think ID conflict can be ruled out, right? -- the two SCSI HDs in my G3 have addresses of 0 and 5. As to the other suggestions, no way to test at the present time for reasons of my own lack of tech knowledge to do it, the lack of extra cabling (which I can also confirm to be good, in the event that this happened because of bad cable), and my inability to open up the computer and handle the insides. SO...... <There's a program called scsi probe that can be used to mount balky scsi drives. Here's a page that has a direct link if you scroll down to the "software updates" section: <http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/archives/aug00/081500.html> Here's a link to a lot of info on scsi: <http://www.scsifaq.org/> I am going to visit these websites.
