Does your SCSI adapter have a switch ? If so, try it in the other position. One position is to use external SCSI devices and the other is for connecting a PB to a desktop Mac so that the PB is recognized as an additional hard drive. (A form of networking available with some PBs.) On mine, it is called the SCSI Dock switch and the "OFF" position is used with external SCSI devices. Be advised that sometimes the adapter doesn't sit tightly into the PB and needs to be shimmed up to make proper contact. Put something of proper height under the adapter so that it fits straight into the slot. Using the HDI 30 wasn't one of Apple's better ideas. I've also found adapters with bent or broken pins. It should have 30 pins (6 rows of 5) You might also try a different external device to make sure the adapter works. (The green light being on doesn't always mean the adapter is working properly.) An external hard drive works well for testing if you have one available.
