Hi all… As some of you might remember, I had a problem about a week ago with connecting a mac SCSI harddrive to my new A3000. At first it didn't work and then I was told to disconnect pin 25 (termination power) Well, I put a piece of tape over the pin to cut it off but when I disconnected the drive I found that the tape wasn't even cutting the pin off. BUT, the drive was still working. Then, since my A3000 was new, I was testing which games of mine were going to work okay, so I kept rebooting the computer. Well, after one reboot the mac drive didn't work and I ran into the same problem where the 3000 wouldn't recognize any drives on the scsi bus (internal or external.) Anyway, the other day I decided it was time to hook up my printer and found that it didn't work, unless I jiggled the cable around. I know the cable isn't bad because I just took it off of my old 2000 where it worked fine. So, what I'm trying to say is that I think my 3000 is broken? What do you think? The SCSI and parallel port are right ontop of each other. Could there be some loose connection? All help is greatly appreciated… -Tim
