    We recently purchased some larger SCSI disks in order to give three of
    our designers more storage capacity on their beige G3 desktop Macs. The
    new SCSI hard drives are not being used as a boot drive, just as a
    secondary drive. All the designers have the original beige G3 desktop
    that's 233MHz with Mac OS 8.6. They purchased three 9GB Quantum Atlas V
    drives that are SCSI from Mac Warehouse.

    We installed one and it worked fine. Then the next one we installed
    would not automatically mount. I can use SCSI Probe to mount it after
    the computer boots up however and then it's fine. I used the latest
    version of Drive Setup 1.7.3, updated the drivers and low level
    formatted the HD. When that didn't work I tried installing the Mac OS
    on it even though I didn't need it on there. That didn't work either.
    What am I missing? These are identical computers and identical hard drives.
