- Just a thought:
-
- The 3283, do you have it as the only drive in the system? Is it configured
- to be the master or slave drive? I seem to remember from my PC that one
- drive gets to be "master", and the other is "slave", and jumpers must
- be set accordingly. If you have only one drive, it must be the "master".
