I once bought an HP Netserver drive for use in a Sun workstation. This crazy drive worked fine by itself, but refused to play well with anything else. Addition of anything caused everything on the chain to fail device probes. After an agonizing process of elimination, I discovered that this
crazy drive actually responded to EVERY SCSI ID, regardless of jumper
setting, cabling, etc. I finally pulled out the docs that came with the drive and apparently, it was made to do this, and was intended for some
sort of single ended arrangement.

I was more thinking about a external ID switch box - like the ones
on the back of drive cases connected upside-down. Creates interesting
combinations.  But Michael explicitely said "Nay".

It's jumpered to ID1, ARCS reports it there. If I change it to ID2 and leave it alone ARCS reports it as ID2 as does NetBSD. It's some other craziness.

have fun
Michael
