internal drives SCSI jumpers to a higher ID? I don't know what the external drive is set to (old CAi external w/software scsi control).
I have seen options for setting the SCSI ID using software, however, I think that only works with drives which have the option built into their firmware, and that was (I believe) limited to certain Quantum drives. I would be sure to set that drive's SCSI ID using a good old fashioned jumper.
My experience has been that when the Mac tries to boot with SCSI drives with duplicate ID's, it just hangs - it won't go to the flashing question mark.
There are a couple of other possibilities which come up. Your experience is probably the most common, however, duplicated SCSI IDs sometimes cause one of the disks to appear about 8 times on the desktop. That's the wierdest. Another possibility is that one of the two disks appears and the other doesn't.
