Ops, I just read the invoice. It has the drive listed as a 2.1GB. Yes,
it is on the 1200 IDE bus.

No, not on the IDE bus.

It came with a Blizzard 1240/40 accellerator, with a Blizzard SCSI. The
Blizzard SCSI is hooked up with a Reno CD player. That is working fine,
it is the HD that I am not able to see?
