I've recently purchased and installed a 521MB hard drive in
my NeXTstation color. To do so, I removed the 105MB hard drive
that came in the machine. Since then, I got an external enclosure
for it (an old PLI removable cartridge enclosure) and would
like to use the drive on my machine.

Now the problem, whenever I hook the drive up and try to format
it with either 'disk' or 'formatter', I get a sense mode error.
What does this mean, and what jumpers do I need to change? Does
anyone have the specs on the 105MB drive that NeXT shipped in their
machines? I also need to change the SCSI id. It came as ID 1, but
I changed it to 4 by changing what looked like the right jumpers,
I just didn't know what I was changing it to. I really want it
to be ID 2....

thanks.
