Bill- I suspect that there are really two of those "3 pin connectors" in the external case, at least in my experiences that is what I have seen. Putting them together in the proper orientation such that they cover the pins labelled "ID 0, ID 1, and ID 2" is a real challenge, but that is their purpose. As Terry said, it is easiest to just move a spare jumper to cover two pins and thus have a "fixed" SCSI ID for that drive. So which pins to cover? Well, any SCSI ID that is NOT in use is OK, and Apple Sytem Profiler, in the Drives/Devices window, will show you which ones are in use. Most likely, ID 1 and ID 2 are unused in your computer.
