I managed to get my hands on yet another SCSI drive. This one is a 540MB 50 pin drive, so I don't need to play around with any 80-to-50 pin adapters. I popped the drive in my CC and fired it up. Lido gives me an "Arbitration Failed. Check termination" error. I connected my external drive so that I could throw a terminator on the end of the chain. Now Lido only shows the external drive, not the new internal drive. What gives?

Can anyone shed some light on this if it's a termination issue? I'm sure it is. But I don't know how to resolve it. I found the spec sheet on the drive and according to that, my SCSI ID is set to 6. (My external drive is 3.)

According to the spec sheet: (http://insight.actapricot.org/insight/common/drives/hard/mmxt540s.htm#jumper) it looks like it has terminating resistors on the board.
