On the logic board side of the drive there should be a double row of pins that can be "jumped" by putting a "jumper" on them. A jumper is a wee small thing that you might not even notice unless you are looking very carefully for it. If you don't have any, that's the first step, get a few jumpers. Then, look for the double row of pins, and the stenciled lettering beside it. There should six or seven sets (I think) The lower three should have something like A0, A1, A2. Jump the A1 or A2, to set the SCSI id to 1 or 2, that should do it. You may have some other issues, but if you already have a drive running at 0 (no jumpers) this should get you going and you can begin to worry about all the particulars of SCSI as the days and years roll by. > Not srue how to do > this?

Go into control panels (after the first startup on the old drive is running) and you should see an icon for both drives. Click on the one you want to highlight it, and then restart. The machine only runs on one operating system at a time. Never (for the most part) put more than one operating system on any one volume.
