Hi Pete, Sounds hopeful; guess I'll take the rope down from the ridgepole :-) >Was the Micropolis >terminated when the only drive? Have you got any other HD utilities? I put it on the end of the ribbon cable, that's all I know about that. I don't have the websites I was using to try and figure out the ID Jumpers cause they're on the crashed drive. The end of the ribbon constitutes termination doesn't it? I have a bunch of utilities: Mount Everything, SCSI/Ware, etc., but they are all on the crashed Seagate. I do have SCSI/Ware here on this 660 so if I can get the 9500 to boot on the OS 9 CD, maybe I can floppy SCSI/Ware into action? I've been busy trying to get this old 660AV set up with a browser (NN 4.08) and the gaping, caseless hulk of my beloved 9500 hasn't been touched yet today - fear and trembling on Salt Spring Island :-) But thanks to your encouragement, I'll pull the Micropolis and put the Seagate back in on the ribbon end (lower bay where it used to be) Should I leave the Seagate set at ID 1? How long should it take to initialize this 4 GB Micropolis? Thanks big-time! Terry -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
