Hex, I tried to switch the term. plug on the cd drive. Didn't make any difference. I ordered a new scsi cable today. HOpefully this will take care of it. If not I'll poke around inside the Cd drive for loose connections etc.

Thanks for your help. :-)

It could be a bad DB25-CN50 cable, a bad CD terminator plug (have you tried swapping the terminator plug and CN50 cable connections on the back of your CD-Rom?), the internal cables may not be not be seated properly/disconnected inside your external CD case, or your CD-Rom drive itself may have become faulty.
