Michael, yeah, no problem - you deserve the kudos for that cache know-how!
AFAIK, both of these drives worked flawlessly about 4 months ago (last time they were on). One had a copy of OS 8.6 on it as an external boot disk to a 6100. The other had a copy of Solaris 2.4 and Sun OS 5 booting a SPARCStation LX. Since then I've moved from Arizona to Colorado... They took a long ride in the back of a U-Haul. They were packed well, but who knows. All my other hardware seems to have made it fine though. I went to the Seagate sit e <http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/scsi/st11200n.html> with the jumper diagrams for the Hawk 1. I've tried every setting (no term, term powered from drive, term powered from bus, term powered _to_ bus, even Drive Motor Enable and Startup Delay - they are oem jumpered to ME, no term, multiple IDs) with multiple SCSI IDs (0, 1, and 2 - I only have one other device -- CD-ROM at 3 -- on the bus - the boot disk is on the external bus) with each disk individually. It took the better part of 2 hours. No dice. Froze every time on startup with the one drive strobing and the other clicking. Of course, the only thing I haven't tried is placing the drives on the end of the SCSI bus (the CD-ROM is currently the last device).... Maybe I'll try that tomorrow when I'm a little fresher. :-( Any other ideas? I'd hate to toss 2 free drives... Sigh, I have bad luck w/ Seagates. I have a 9GB Barracuda that bit the dust last year - makes a lovely two-toned beep when I power it on. Didn't know Barracudas had beepers built in... Good luck w/ the MVP award! heh ;-) Peace, Drew -- Having graduated (with a physics BS :-P), I will be using the email address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please update your address book. <http://homepage.mac.com/alk/> "Anyone can fly, all you have to do is throw yourself at the ground and miss." -Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy -- 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> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; 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 Mac?
