Hi Philip, A very common cause is improperly set jumpers. It sounds like you already have the SCSI id where you want it. Check also that 'PARITY' is enabled [a jumper is across the fourth pair of pins from the left as you look at the back of the drive], and 'SECTOR SIZE' is _disabled_ [not jumpered]; if the drive is physically at the end of the SCSI chain, it should have the 'TERMINATOR' pins jumpered [don't confuse this with 'TERM POWER', which should probably remain unjumpered]. Hope it's that simple for you, paul -- Paul F. Henegan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
