Right. The end of the chain depends on what is in the line of the SCSI chain. For example, the motherboard is always a 7. You want the HD as close to the motherboard as possible, or 6. This makes access for your most used device just a little quicker. Put your other devices at other IDs but

I appreciate that clarification. How can you have eight? The motherboard is 7 and there are only 1-7 right? Or is 0 one as well? I wonder where the person that told me keep the HD closest to the motherboard got that information? I'm pretty sure I've seen that somewhere before too. Hmm. Dave

Would the HD work if the converter was toast? ID is set at 6 (closest to motherboard). This computer did work before I reformatted the drive. I had ran 9.1 for 2 years straight, only an occasional Norton diskdoctor run. Pretty dependable machine. Since I did not change the termination, I don't

Noah, The only way I know to do it is to either burn a copy or to copy it on to another SCSI Drive and then port over all of your files. I know you cannot reformat your HD without losing your information. Changing from 8.1 to 8.5 or higher is a bear. Hope this helps. Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED]
