If it does not exist in the "other" scsi ID # locations,
Did you check to make absolutely sure that there is no
SCSI ID conflict with another device. If it came from
factory, it may have SCSI ID 0 unless you changed it.
You very well may have ID 0 on your start up drive already.
If I recall correctly, sometimes devices may show up anyway,
even with conflicts, but I think not always- and most likely
to be a problem if they are both on the same bus.
Also, this might sound dumb, but once in a while the cable
may not be tight depending on how you install things. If
you have one of those adapters on a "non-native" drive
(that don't connect as snug as most other drives), it can
easily loosen up if you move the drive even a small amount
after you connect the cable.
"Assuming" those are ok, are you certain that the drive is
compatible for your machine?
Did you check termination?
Live long and prosper
Don
