Muzz As I posted to Don, I think the problem is in the cable. I have ordered a new one and will wait and see. I have 2 internal drives that work perfectly until the cable is plugged in to the external port on the 2091 card. It doesn't matter if the other end of that cable is plugged in to the external box or not. The result is always the same – in that, the act of plugging in the cable with bring down my internal drives. I have been able it plug my new drive on to an internal cable (had to take one of the other drive off) and format the drive. Unfortunately it is a 380 meg Full Height drive that will no way fit permanately inside the Amiga's drive bays. But I had it there for a while and set it all up. My drive address numbers are #1 -DH0:(Workbench) 40meg & bootable, #6 -DH1: & DH2: 150meg in two partitions both not bootable, and the new drive will be addressed at #2 -DH3: & DH4: 316meg (Formated) in two partitions and both not bootable. Thanks for jumping in, I'm in a wait and hold pattern til the new cable comes in. And if that don't work, then I don't know what the next step will be. OnLine since 1982 Roy Pahnke – Casper WY
