If the jumper(s) for SCSI ID have been set to something OTHER THAN 1,2,4,5 or 6, maybe...(assuming U have nothing else hooked up!) And if U assigned it to SCSI ID #3 (assuming U have a CD-rom) or 0 or 7, then maybe... It could mean both... or neither. >:-) In the wonderful world of SCSi, sometimes everything can be right BUT the "dang thang still don't show up." In those cases U need to get ahol dof a wonderful little Utility called SCSI Probe, which I'll send ya seperately... > 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? Well right now U already have a HD set to "0" ; the 1st HD that came in the machine. U can use the 2nd HD as your startup HD, but unless the other HD is either (1) out of the machine, or (2) set to another ID#, U need to set the additional HD to something other than "0" !! > 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.

I used to have that 1st plug S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D...!! to reach up to the 2nd Drive..! But no, the power plugs do not have to match with the corresponding SCSI plugs.. \.. as crazy as that seems...
