Turns out mine was in fact a jumper mistake. I had accidentally set it to Cable Select instead of Master. Check yours, maybe it is the same problem. If you can, check to see what the Firewire case expects the drive to be set as, and then make sure you in fact set it that way. With an external adaptor case, all bets are off. It could want it as Master, or as Single (some drives those two are the same), or as Cable Select, or although less likely, it might even want it as Slave. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
