(ahem) PC SCSI drives *ARE* apple SCSI drives. Rather, Apple SCSI drives are PC SCSI drives, except mucked with. >There are jumpers for term. power, ID, Remote Start and other things which, >if >not set right will cause havoc. As I have said quite often: 1. Check that the IDs do not conflict. The boot drive that was already there will probably be ID zero. The scsi controller will be ID 7. 2. terminate both ends of the scsi chain with *EXTERNAL* terminators. DO NOT trust internal drive termination or the onboard scsi controller's termination to be adequate. Put an IDC terminator on a stub after the internal drives. Get a 50-pin pass-through terminator and put it on the end of an external 25-pin to 50-pin cable. Attach that cable to the external scsi port. NOW you know both ends are *really* terminated. 3. ONE of the devices needs to be providing TERMPWR to the bus. I don't think the scsi controller can do it with more than one internal device attached. You should be able to set by shorting a jumper on one of the "PC" SCSI drives. Check the jumper settings document located at the drive manufacturer's website. Oh, and Seagate bought Conner, in case anybody was wondering. _________________________________________________________________ Surf the Web without missing calls!�Get MSN Broadband. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/freeactivation.asp -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
