There is no master/slave relation on SCSI, requires IDs, each device must have a unique number. Get Apple Profiler up and see what the IDs are for the other devices on that Bus (Bus 0 probably) and then set the ID for the HD concerned to a different no. You may need to look at the writing on the cover of the HD and see what jumper pins if any are required. Does it spin even? David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
