I actually had something similar to this problem with an old 2x unit on my 81/110 a long time ago. If I had it set to a SCSI ID number, it showed up (in SCSI utilities, too) as a CDROM on that SCSI ID number and all higher numbers, e.g. SCSI ID ==0 meant I had seven CDROM drives (or so the computer thought) I solved the problem by setting the SCSI ID to 6, foiling whatever bug was affecting it. -Tyler -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
