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).
Right...
However, your problem is with a scsi drive
Sorry. I'll wake up and read the whole thread one day!
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. 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/>
Yeh, agreed. SCSI can be a PITA sometimes and it's not always obvious why.
