Sorry to post this, but our system keeps bouncing your mail address!

Two things to check, in order of most likely.

        1. Check that only the last drive in the chain has terminating
resistors on it. These are usually in the form of three SIP resistor
packages, usually mounted in sockets near the connector. If your new
drive has no terminations, and the internal drive has, just move them
over, or reverse the connection order of the drives.

        2. Check that the second drive is set to a different address
then the first. Address changing is usually accomplished with jumpers.
The first drive is usually set to address 0, which means NO jumpers.
This is probably how your internal drive is set. Do not use address 7,
as this is reserved for the Mac itself.

Hope this helps!
