Well, the next thing to check is if the cable (or just wires) from the ID selector goes to the drive or is just hanging loose. Drive ID 6 was the most commonly used ID. It’s possible someone put a drive pulled from a computer into that case and just didn’t bother plugging in the ID cable.

This drive had worked before, I pulled the case apart to check the wires and nothing looks out of place. I will to ID the jumper blocks but the markings on the board are not very ledgible. -- -- - You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group. The list FAQ

This is not very scientific but in the days of old when A SCSI conflict defied my logic,  I'd change the SCSI ID on one or both of the drives and /or change the physical location of the drives on the chain. Sometimes it worked. On Monday, November 26, 2018, 5:25:34 PM EST,
