David's questions, and more than you wanted. Several years ago I got home from vacation to find my original HD (Western) had gone south. Got a 34G IBM-plugged into the main SCSI cord, divided into 4 parts and am using it has my HD-I have 9.1 on one partition, 9.0 on another to cross Norton Disk Doctor, and 2 for storage. Wanted more storage so I got a 18g IBM and had to plug it into the Jackhammer card (the original drive was here) because it wouldn't work anywhere else. Wanted more storage, inquired on the list and it was suggested that I go ATA since the machinery was cheeper. Got a 120G IBM Deskstar from OWC and an ATA/6280. The HD spins up, and still does. OWC told me that the card and HD were not compatable so I got another card, the Siig ultra 133/100 pro. Still no HD in SetUp. I tried a new cable, nothing, currently pluged into the cable that came with the card. Assume that the cable is in the right place since with the slot and bump you can only plug it in one way.
Therefore: I am trying to mount a new drive. If there is a green light on the bottom of the card I don't see it. The drive spins. Using 9.1 as my main OS. Only one drive on the ATA card. I have the SCSI probe from an earlier mailing-not there. Slave-master jumper in right place-got diagrams from IBM. Have the latest card update.
