Hi! I have two questions. The first is: I have an Apple (originally Miniscribe) 20 meg drive taken out of a stock SE. I am using it in conjunction with an internal 40meg in a Mac II. The problem is, I want the 40 meg to boot first. How do I set the SCSI ID number on the 20 meg drive? The controller says 'adaptec' on it as well as Miniscribe. There is a plug on the end of the drive with eight pins on it that is connected to the drive itself by a flat plastic conductor, but I don't want to make any guesses. The second question: I ask the first because the 20 meg won't boot correctly, and when I try to format it, it says 'drive has hardware fault, get it repaired.' This is with Apple's HD setup. SilverLining simply says Disk Error and won't format it. Is there any hope for this drive? Can it be fixed relatively (<$100) cheaply? Thanks for any help you can give. It does seem to work OK for Data, just not for booting, so that is why I want it to boot second. I would guess that it has munged its boot block area, but I can't tell. Thanks! -JBZimmerman! ___________ |-Here comes your father. || | -Henry V || ||acob Zimmerman!+> <zimerman@phoenix.Princeton.EDU> INTERNET === | <zimerman@PUCC> BITnet
