Yes the IIci supplies 5v power to the scsi, because an internal HD can't supply it. So set the internal HD to not supply the power. For the active termination I'm foggy on that, so I suggest first trying it without. You didn't say which OS you are using, that's relevant because "With versions of the Macintosh operating system previous to System 7.5 we recommend making the volume sizes slightly less than 2 GB to ensure that you do not run into any limitations." The sad mac could be caused by an unblessed System folder. btw, some of us are in digest mode. :-) Gamba <http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2> -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
