william ahearn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> responded: >Shouldn't be a problem as the SCSI ID on the external >isn't set to 0. (Assuming that the internal *is* set to 0.) Willy gives ya good advice here Vern. How's the project coming? You have just the ribbon (SCSI) cable, the power (4 wire) cable, and the address switch cable to move. And possibly an "activity light" (very fine two wire) cable also. This activity light cable is not needed. Your ears will tell you when there is activity. The address switch cable may be problematic if your 6 address pins are not of the same geometry on both drives which is a common problem. You can move the switch with the drive if it will fit the cutout of the new box. Or you can "fix" the address by fitting a jumper to any one set of the A0, A1, or A2 pin sets on the drive. I'd suggest the A0 set which will give you SCSI ID:1. Keep us posted. Bill -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
