Dave thanks for the above..this Mac came with two H drives, one an Apple badged IBM 4Gb made in 1997 and presumably the original one and a second a Quantum Atlas ultra 160 of about 34Gb. My suspicions are that this newer drive may be a tad too recent for smooth operation, I am sure someone will confirm that! Just a point, this drive uses a 68 to 50 pin reducer.
In theory the 9600 motherboard doesn't support ultra scsi, so probably the long delay time is due to it trying to work out what the hell has been attached. That drive should be running on its own scsi chain on an ultrawide scsi card. Anyway, even if it does work as now set up, as soon as you connect another scsi device the chain will revert to the slower speed thus negating any speed benefit from the drive.
