Hi again,
Steve, I had a problem with my 7300 in which I put in an 18GB
Seagate Cheetah drive, which has no termination enable jumper setting.
Worked fine in OS 9.1, but wouldn't format under OSX. Swappng the CD-ROM to
the 'slow' SCSI bus with another cable made all the difference, leaving the
cheetah drive on the 'fast' bus.
Bye for now, Terry Allen
