Has anyone experienced erratic behavior when taking an Apple (Sony) 40
drive from an SE/30 and trying to put in in an external case? I bought my
SE/30 with a 40 meg internal, then decided to get a quantum 105 internal.
When I format and test the sony inside the mac, it's fine, but when
I try it in the (Emac) case, it gets some pretty funky read/write errors.
I have tried all the standard sanity checks (different cables, SCSI ID,
termination, case, power supply, SCSI connectors and cables). What I want to find
out is- is there some kind of funky setup with the Sony drive so that it
only works with ID 0 or inside the mac or both?
If it matters, I _am_ using system 7, but the same problem occurred
when I stuck the sony on other macs that were not sys 7.
Please reply by email, since I don't follow this group very much.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. The Quantum runs just fine.
