Mr. Holder is correct about Master/Slave. That is not an issue with SCSI
drives. I would also ditto his suggestion about double checking IDs and
termination.

I have one internal drive and three external SCSI drives. Occasionally, after
a crash, for whatever reason, a drive will disappear on a re-boot. If it
remains elusive, I remove power from the ones that are identifiable and leave
power to the "missing" drive on. Just the power, not the data cables.

Upon re-boot, the "missing" drive re-appears as the boot device, (providing
you have a system file on it). Then turn on the power to the other drives.
Maybe they show up maybe not.

However, on a subsequent re-boot, all drives are there. This is from personal
experience, not S.O.P. It has always worked for me.
