Adding to Ian Owen's thoughts: the HD in the Centris must have been
terminated before you made any change. Remember that termination should be
active on the (physically) last device in a chain, so you should have a
look at the way you daisychained the drives on the internal SCSI cable: if
the cable coming from the motherboard goes to the HD (which is terminated)
first and then to the CD-ROM, the computer may ignore the latter
completely. Make sure the cable goes from the mobo to a not-terminated
drive and then to the terminated one, no matter what they are and which
SCSI IDs they use. I can't remember how the 61x(x) machines are organised
internally but I'm sure you can solve the problem by either changing the
order or by pulling the term jumper on one device and placing it on the
other. As for term power, the 610 provides it on the bus AFAIK, but if
you're not lucky following the above rules, you may change the term power
setting on the terminated device to "term power from drive". If the
computer still does not see the CD-ROM after all this, you may have a bad
SCSI cable, or the CD-ROM drive may be one not supported by the standard
Apple driver. You can see on the drive label if it has an Apple-compliant
ROM. If it is a non-Apple drive, use the patch to Apple's CD-ROM driver or
use the driver from OS 7.6.1 which supports non-Apple CD-ROM drives.
