I recently purchased a Wren ST4766N to use as an Internal hard disk on my NeXT Cube. After spending many hours trying, I cannot even get the drive to spin up. It spins up fine when connected to a Mac IIfx. Has anyone installed one of these drives internally to a NeXT? Is there something I'm doing wrong. I installed the terminators from my old swap drive, connected the power and SCSI cables, and powered up. The only thing that happens is the light on the front comes on and never goes off. When I put it in the mac, the light comes on for a second and then goes off and it spins up. If I reconnect the swap drive, it spins right up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, alan dail-- Alan Dail NASA/Langley Research Center ALANDAIL@applelink.apple.com

Thanks to all of you who offered help with my drive. It turns out that I was simply missing a jumper. The drive now works just fine as an internal boot drive. MUCH, MUCH faster than running off of the OD. alan -- Alan Dail NASA/Langley Research Center ALANDAIL@applelink.apple.com
