Oh, sorry Betty, perhaps I did not carefully read what was being said.
You are correct, SCSI does require power (5 volts comes to mind).
In all probability, some of the drive's connectors are attached to the
wrong pins of the SCSI connector. That is a common problem among SCSI
drives.
Another thing you might check is the SCSI address. Even though you set
whatever switch is provided on the external case that does not mean the
address is actually being changed. You could have a SCSI address conflict
even if you only have one SCSI device attached since the computer itself
has an address.
