- I saw a similar problem with an A3000 (which uses basically the same SCSI
- circuitry) when adding a second hard drive. I never could get the new drive to
- play with the old one, though each worked by itself and they played together
- fine on my Supra A2000 SCSI. I upgraded the A3000 SCSI controller to the
- latest rev and it made no difference. I ended up finding a different drive.

- I chalked it up to an older SCSI that was not fully SCSI-complient. Is one of
- your drives an older one?
