If HD SC setup fails, try a patched version of Drive Setup. HD SC setup will fail a drive if you breathe on it too hard whereas Drive Setup tends to be a bit more ignorant regarding surface defects. Really handy with the Powerbooks where the small hard drives are about impossible to find.

Also, popping my own CMS drive open I now remember that only the first three dip switches sets the drive ID and the last one I think turned termination on and off. The rest aren't connected to anything.

Thanks for the tip about the dip switches. I had switch 1-2 in the ON position but it still wouldn't boot from the HDD. But as soon as I flipped the last switch on (termination) it booted instantly! Thank you for your help bro!
