It was on "3" when I got it. I put it on 3 again (before even consulting with you guys) which didn't seem to have an effect. I haven't looked at the HD yet, but I will look for a similar switch there. I will also see if it's possible to flash a Kurzweil! Thanks a bunch.

=========

You should exercise caution when connecting & disconnecting SCSI
cables.  Power should be OFF.

SCSI is sensitive to cable length - the shorter the better.

Your current problem with no SCSI device recognition even with just
one device connected doesn't sound like an ID issue.

Also, any ID change on any device will not take effect until after
rebooting, in case you weren't aware.
