Well, it can't be the drives clashing as they're on different
interfaces, maybe there isn't enough power to go round? What happens
when you have the scsi harddisk plugged into the power connector but
not the SCSI chain?
Also, put hdtools on a floppy disk then load that up and see if it can
detect the IDE harddisk with the SCSI one in, just incase the RDB is
set up to disable other drives (can't see how tho)
See ya :)
