A classic sign of Termination woes. T SCA drive may be set to provide termination (as is the CDrom drive by default on most macs) so you need to remove it if it's on. Look for a jumper marked TE somewhere on the SCA drive and un jumer it if it's jumpered. If it's not jumpered, try jumpering it. Ther'es also the issue of termination power...sometimes they can be set to 'provide termination power to the bus' which can screw things up. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
