My drive has a 50 pin scsi, a 4 pin power supply and a 10 pin cable (I
did not know what it is used to) - that connects to those ID pins,

can set the scsi id with jumpers, is that right?
Thanks,

That looks like a faulty drive. Does it spin up? fx
is trying to read
Yes, it does. Somebody sent a hint to me to use a tool on the install
cds called ide.IP12, which indeed displayed the drive to be faulty. I'm
trying to get another one.
The hd is in
the bottom drive bay. After my enter keystroke in line 4
(drive#=1) the led flashes for a short time and at the same time (or
maybe some millisecconds later) the error message appears.
As you probably know, the SCSI ID is automatically determined by the
bay you put the drive in. At least, it is if you use standard sleds,
which have a connection from the ID pins on the drive, via the sled
connector, to the backplane.
