I don't have another machine that accepts SCSI. I actually wiped the drive completely. I want to sell the machine and need to put 8.5 on it so I wiped it. Even did a low level format and zeroed it.
I don't have a way to check the pin placement. I know a lot about this mac but never got into doing the really tech stuff. I did connect the other SCSI drive I have to the machine. It works as well. (Seagate) but I cannot run the install program still. Good questions. Keep them coming. I would love it if someone hit something I haven't tried and it was actually the cause! Thanks!
