Well, I've noticed that when Apple's util can't see a drive that's _supposed_ to be there, it can quite often be a scsi address issue. It wouldn't be the problem if it's the only thing on the bus, but if you've got 2 or more devices, you could quite easily have a conflict, and only the first device on that ribbon at that ID will show up. That is, if you've got a cdrom at 4, and put your hard drive is after it on the ribbon also at 4, only the cdrom will show up. if you switch the devices around on the ribbon, then the cdrom won't show up. Just remember that in general on those olde drives A0 is 1, A1 is 2, and A2 is 4 - you can mix and match any way you like with the exception of 7, which is reserved for the card.
I also saw that earlier someone suggested you check to see if the drive is terminated improperly, which now that I think of it, seems like it could also be what's up...... jon bocock Paul Campbell wrote: > John, > > Apples utility won't even recognize the drive (even the newest version), FWB > that came with the PCP sees it but won't initialize it, I paid for the > newest FWB PE...no go, and finally I tried Intech's > HDST (very nice utilities...) ... won't do it either... > > Thanks for your suggestions (and any others you may have...) > > Paul > > ps - I'm sure the PCP is worth more to me than I could get for it. > > ppss - Installed a Powerlogix G3/400 512MB cach chip and it is impressive - > also 256 MB of ram > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Power Computing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 9:16 AM > Subject: Re: > > > -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
