Re: Rev A HDD size (revisted)

[Barbara Landis]

Alas, no, that's not the problem with mine, which was taken directly out 
of an old iMac, where it was already set for master, and put into an 
enclosure that requires the same. I even yanked it and tried other 
jumper settings just to see if any of them would work. They didn't.

Thanks for the suggestion, though. Guess I'll have to keep trying  - or 
just give up altogether.  It's not va huge loss, only 10G, but I wanted 
to recycle it into an even older Power Mac that still gives good service 
on its original 4G drive.

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.
