Josh ---- Thanks Josh, I also got that tip from [kby] off-list. That indeed was probably the source of the problem. I swapped out the cable for a REV B and also removed the jumper pin that was on the drive when it was in the 2400c. That did it and the 2300c recognized the HD. I installed OS 8 and then setup an old Asante EN/SC SCSI Ethernet adaptor - next thing you know I was surfing the web. My next goal is to try and get the 2300c up to OS 9.2.2 like the 2400c. Thanks duo listers! joe
