Ahhhh... Yes... If you "bypass" the internal SCSI everything works fine. The problem I have had is using the internal SCSI bus. I really did not want to use a NuBus card for a SCSI card. I am wondering if I should try to use a different Rushmore drive... Perhaps there was just a funky issue with the one I was trying (though it worked fine with everything else I through it in). One reason I don't want to use a Jackhammer card was due to the reduced performance I have noted with NuBus SCSI cards (compared to the internal SCSI), the other is that with only 3 slots, it seems a waste to use a slot simply to overcome the internal SCSI issue.
