Kevin, On mine, I figured it out when no drive would be recognized on the internal drive, but would be recognized on the external bus and the scsi card. I thought it might have been a bad ribbon cable, but the drives worked with the old ribbon cable attached to the scsi card, and not recognized with a new cable on the internal bus.
You CAN hook up the drives to the external bus by getting an external cable AND an internal cable that would go inside a PC case. Most people don't have this cable unless they've been putting scsi drives in pc cases for external storage on their Atari's and then Mac's. Of course, you'll need to leave the case open the whole time. If you need more info or pics of the cables, let me know. STeve << How do you know when the bus is ruined and how do you fix it? Also, if my internal bus is ruined, how can I switch my hard drives to the external bus? >> -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
