>>If I can't see it, does that mean that I put the jumper pins on wrong - that I gave it an address that either the CD-ROM or the first drive already has?<<
Each drive has to have a unique ID >>Also, since I would probably want this to be my start-up drive, can I just give it an address of "0" (no pins) and then install the OS on it, and that would work fine?<< The norm is 0 for boot drive, but it is not necessary. >>I originally had to take the SCSI ribbon out of the first drive and insert that "plug" into the second drive and insert the other "plug" into the back of the first drive because the thing wouldn't reach both otherwise. Is that what caused the problem? I'm a little fuzzy on the issue of "termination" and how that works.<< ONLY the LAST item on the cable should be terminated, if none are you get noise on the line and bad reception. (how's that for mixing metaphors?) If more than one is terminated, too much power can be drawn causing damage to whatever is providing term power. Check jumpers on all drives for ID and termination--term only last drive (or CD) on cable and generally give boot drive ID 0 and 2nd drive ID 1 CD is usually ID 3 (I think.)
