Addition to my previous post:

Yesterday I tried a Micropolis (668 Mb) drive and a Quantum fireball 
(1 Gb) drive. I installed one drive at a time i an external casing 
and set drive to scsi id 6 with parity on.

But when trying to access the drive with the format command:

scsiformat /c600 -b=1024 -g

I get the error code: Error #216 path not found.

The case and connectors work when I put the original drive back in.

Can you tell me what is wrong here.......anyone?

Best regards

Brian
