i seem to remember os3.9 tools sometimes set the lastdrive flag and if that is after the HD it may be the problem, but i am just shooting in the dark.

It almost seems a os3.9 thing. is it possible to skip the scsi and rom updates for os3.9 and see what happens?

Worst case if you simply cannot get it to work to you're satisfaction you can return it for a refund.

thanks,

I'm on 3.1, so I'm not sure if that might introduce some issues. I also don't know what SCSI chip revision I have.

I'll have to check on the device numbers, but I think the reader is a lower device number (reader is device 2 IIRC and the drive is 5 or 6).

I appreciate the offer to return it, but I also have an A2000 I can use it in so I don't think I will need to.

3.1 should be fine. You can mount with scsi mounter.
IMO 3.5 and 3.9 are not the big jumps that 3.1 was over 2.x and 2.x was over 1.x.

3.1 can do just about every thing 3.9. 3.9 is nice because it is in one CD,
