This is a weird scsi one...

Ive a 250MB Quantum apple hard disk that did boot and was running 7.5.3 fine. I stuck a bluescsi in the chain after it (removing its terminator packs) and copied some files across.. now the Quantum wont be seen by the mac unless its on the scsi bus with the bluescsi and wont boot unless its in that configuration.. weird ay.. any ideas.. ive tried rebuilding destop, pram. It is seen and boots fine in the chain with the B/S but on ita own with its own termination... nothing.20231007_194033.jpg

Daft question, have you put the resistor packs back in the same way? They're usually one common pin and the rest are individual pins, meaning they are handed.

I expect you have, but I have to ask. Start with the simple stuff :)
