Ahead of you (in the States at least!) with time zone difference, I am back from a night of sleep and I got my mail. This is the beauty of the user group.
Robert, Dennis, David, and Chuck, thank you for your input! It is now working: you were right, it was another SCSI voodoo! Actually I modified the unfamous TERMINATOR jumper: I took it out... and then my computer restarted without a glitch and recognized the CD-ROM right away. What still puzzled me is this jumper configuration. In my YAMAHA user's manual it states that if there is a jumper the terminator is ON; if there is no jumper the terminator is OFF! (which is the case now)... and in my system now the CD-ROM is the last device connected to the internal SCSI-2 ruban cable with ID #3... what am I missing? One last question is regarding the parity jumper: I understand it is used for error corrections when moving data from the CD to the system; do you keep it ON or OFF? does it slow down operation? your experience?
