>Try connecting the CDROM AFTER the HD.
The CDR35 must go at the end of the chain.  It only has one SCSI port
and is only at address "1".  In an attempt to make it work, I trimed
the bus down to just my internal drive and the CDR35.  All addresses
were correct as was the termination.  No joy!  It was obvious from the
bevahiour of the thing that it was not selecting correctly.  Even the
docs seem to indicate that it had better be alone on the bus.  Too bad
they don't say that in the ad ;-{.  No it is on the way back and I have
already ordered my AppleCD SC.  Should have purchased the Apple one in
the first place.
