OK the best bet is to take the lid off anyway and see what make of HD's they
are. I have two seagate WREN 1.2GB's daisy chained off my Sun3/60, and you have
to set jumpers on the disk.

I also have an old Hitachi 1.2GB disk and you can set the SCSI id from the
external box, it all depends on the drive.

Most HD makers will carry the old data sheets on their sites so you should have
no problem.

I can't remember now what I did, it was about 14mnths ago!

Hope it was of some help,
