Getting hard drives from eBay can be risky at best. > It didn't come with any software or literature but I > was able to find the jumper settings on the web. > If you are going to replace your original drive and don't care for the documents, then you can pretty much strip the jumpers (SCSI ID jumpers) and set the ID to zero. > I am not sure if I need to have termination enabled or > not.

It works fine with my old HD. When I > insert my OS 8.1 CD, I boot up fine but Drive Setup > will only recognize the CD-ROM. You should not need any termination. If you were able to boot off of the CD, then you should have seen a file that was named "Where are all my files" - or something along those lines. If Drive Setup cannot see the drive, then chances are that the drive has not Apple ROM, so in essence neither the drive nor the Mac know anything about each other. You can try other formatting utilties and see if they will recognize the drive. I've used APSs PowerTools (I think that is the name...) but when I'm really in a jam I bust out the FWB Hard Disk Toolkit. > > Running off my CD, I was able to stick a OS 7.1 Disk > tools disk in the floppy drive and run Drive Setup but > still no recognition of the HD.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any other disk tools that can possibly help. One option is to rewrite the disklable. But screwing that up WILL wreak havoc on you drive. You can try to format the disk with pdisk (I think) the drive formatter for NetBSD. But by all means, if you aren't comfortable don't push your luck. I've heard of Tenon System. Do they still make that X server for Macs? What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Good luck, --Raf ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rafael A.
