What do you believe was the cause of your ID's getting mixed up and how did you determine that was the problem? My External SCSI bus only has the Zip drive which is self terminating.

Just a matter of remounting or what? I do know that there were problems with on-board ATA controllers and some drives in some of the G3s but not with PCI ATA cards. Anyway, sounds like you never really determined what happened to your ATA card? > >I now have the G4 running again but the ATA 133 or OSX will not at >all.
