Well the issue is the drive doesnt show up at all. The scsi id should be 0 (which is not occupied) the conner drive was just bunk from the start. It looks and smells like it came out of the sewer. Working at all from the start was a sheer miracle. The enclosure is fine but the id is set on the drive. It is standard 50 pin scsi. The hd sc setup shows it has no usable drives. I will try it on a different id but 0 worked temporarily for the conner. On Aug 16, 2013 8:49 PM, "J.S. Garrison" <[email protected]> wrote:
