God I hate SCSI!
Can someone tell me what magic incantation I need to recite in order to get a SCSI CD-ROM (not CD/RW!) to work in an S900? After pulling my IDE card and CD/RW and installing it in my "new" B&W G4, all I have left for a CD is the original SCSI drive that came with the S900. But it won't work now. I either end up with a circle with a slash thru it on the OS X boot up screen, or by pulling the Term Power jumper it will boot, but a CD is not detected when I insert it into the drive.
It is set as drive 3, and the hard drives are jumpered as 0, 1 and 2. I thought the drive might be bad, so I bought a genuine Apple 24x drive, model # CR-508-C, on eBay. It looks identical to the Umax drive, which is model CR-506-B. It has the same jumpers and gives the same results as above.

Dan, What OS version are you using, 9 or pre-9 you probably need a "driver" FWB Toolkit or Intech's CD tools
are you sure the "Matshita" is a working drive, I'm not sure about your "jumper" config and I'm assuming you
have the drive connected to the "motherboard scsi" as well? Phillip
