The jumpers on the 2nd and 3rd pins from the right may not have been affecting the SCSI address at all. They could have been on TE=termination enable and PK=Park. I think the latter means "rest an unused jumper here", but I'm not sure. There are other possible uses for jumpers that I don't remember. Usually, one can -- with good vision, good light, and maybe a magnifier (;->) -- see A0, A1, and A2 next to the address jumpers. Also, if you can get the system to boot, perhaps from a CD-ROM, with one hard drive connected to either the internal or external SCSI bus, check the SCSI ID on that drive by doing a get info on its desktop icon. If you determine that both drives have the same SCSI ID (probably 0), or that either one has the same SCSI ID as the CD-ROM (probably 3), make sure you've managed to change one of them so that all drives, including the CD-ROM, have different SCSI addresses before you put them together on the same SCSI bus. BTW, if you put the original hard disk back where it was so you should, at least, have no termination problem. Then see if you can boot from a bootable CD, if you have one. - Aaron P.S. I -- or someone else on the list -- could probably sell you another 7500 motherboard for a lot less than one of those ripoff companies would charge to fix the one you have. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
