Since I have seen them work once, I think the ids are ok. They both have external selectors, but I don't recall what they were set to. Termination is a different story. The last drive has an adapter plugged into it. Something else must have been plugged in at some point. I'll have to check the boxes to see if either can supply termination. That's a good idea regardless. Thanks for the reminder. I would like to try each of the externals on a different system. You hear the warnings about disconnecting devices from active SCSI ports. So before I try it, is there a possibility that doing that may have damaged them in such a way that plugging them into a different system could affect that one? I'm not trying to be paranoid. I just want avoid a problem. thanks, jim jim -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
