Did you just connect the drive via ribbon cable or something (sounded like it isn't yet in the external case)?
Is the drive terminated? What is the drive SCSI ID? Did you boot from a system disk with HDSC Setup on it? Don't think you would really have to worry about burning up your 605. Shouldn't consume much more power than an older drive. Ken Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
