Re: [SM] update on SCSI HD not mounting...

[Paul Corsa]

We now know the items connected to your SCSI ribbon do work. We still 
don't know if the faster SCSI is functional or blown on the MOBO. The 
fact you now have printer problems and problems with your CD burner 
leads me to think you may have a corrupted system OS on your IDE HD from 
all the messing with the Trackball/adaptor OR uou never loaded drivers 
for this stuff onto your original SCSI HD. Once booted from the SCSI HD 
run DiskFirstAid on your IDE HD, or DiskWarrior or Norton. If that 
doesn't work I'd think about reloading the OS on the IDE drive. Once you 
can boot from an IDE drive again you can shut down and switch the SCSI 
cable back and reboot to see if that now works. If it doesn't, plead to 
the SCSI gods that Jeff Walter or someone as knowlidgable will answer 
your plea. I'm sure a blown SCSI is just a controler chip replacement 
issue but is beyond my level of tinkering. Oh yes, do make sure nothing 
became unseated when you moved the SCSI cable- check PCI cards, etc. 
With power off reset the CUDA button, then Zap the Pram on 
restart(startup+Command+Option+P +R)Now see if things work again. If not 
reload the System OS. Paul C

The S900 has two SCSI chains. The slower, internal/external one has a 
plugin near the rear fan. I'd try plugging in there. If a known good 
drive works there you can then diagnose the faster internal only SCSI 
chain with more confidence. 

Ok, Paul,
I have done the above, I have taken the SCSI ribben with the
Orig type known working SCSI HD & the CD Rom & plugged into the
slower, internal/external SCSI plug-in.
The HD & the CDROM work, & are seen, on the desktop.
I can even boot up into the SCSI HD, Yea!
But now my printer will not work, in the chooser
on the left where you click on a printer, it's there
but when I click on it, nothing shows up in the right had side.
& also my CD burner is not found by Apple system profiler
or by software but the green lite says on  & it will not open.
So, what does this mean that the SCSI HD is seen & boots up
when connected this way?
So, what would you suggest next?
Thanks in advance! kim
