People have problems for all the reasons mentioned in recent weeks. I am sure you are right that cabling is important. It is impossible to know if the cable is the problem unless outside inspection makes it obvious. Or by a process of elimination. The point about SCSI probs is that there is a fair amount to eliminate. True, it is not rocket science :) David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
