  Yes, all jumpers removed is ID 0 on the PCD-50b
  Emax 1's only boot from ID0, and that is what the HD is set to by default from the factory.

  If the internal HD is connected and the PCD-50b also, and both at ID0, it isn't going to work right.

  The only jumper I have set is on termination. All other jumpers have been
  removed so, it should already be set to scsi id 0, correct?

  0 you need to set the card drive to 0 or otherwise you will need the + os to
