I'm trying to hook up a second hard drive to my IIcx and I can't get the finder
to recognize it.

Here's what I did.  I bought a used Qunatun 40 meg HD and an external case and
power supply to hold it.  Now, I know it works, because I can substitute it for
my internal HD and get it to boot up and all.  So what I did to hook them both 
up, was to hook the drives up in serial fashion using a SCSI cable that has
connectors every couple of inches.  I took the original SCSI cable out, hooked
one end of the new cable to the original connector, one of the middle connectors
to my internal drive, and finally the other end to the new drive.  Now, when I
boot up, the internal works fine, but I can't get the mac to recognize the
external.

I've tried using SCSIProbe and all sorts of other tools to try to get it 
recognised, but nothing works.  Can someone help me out?  Is this the totally
wrong way to hook these up?  Thanks in advance

Tom
