I had a similar excperience mounting a 9.1 gig SCA half-height drive w/ 80-50 pin adaptor. After trying to low-level format it unsuccessfully I took it back to the shop for replacement. They did after failing to get their PC 2940UW card to recognize it. Charlie -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
