I know this should probably go to the Compact list (&/or the Vintage list)... but I am unable to post to them...

Is there any specific trick to upgrading the HD in an SE? I tried 3 different drives (500MB-1GB) and I get a sad-mac on boot every time (the 20MB drive the mac came with works fine).

All cable and jumper combos have been checked. The one config that should work gives the sad mac on all 3 drives (all the other configs give nothing -- Lido reports, "Arbitration failed!! Check connections and terminators on all SCSI devices")


check termination of the drive. on some drives it is just a jumper, on older drives it are a two or three resistor-ribbons.(nine pins if i recall it right) these are special resistor ribbons. they have a pull up and tight down resistors attached to both 5v and 0v.
