Thanks for all the suggestions,
I did try it, and the id was lower than the other drives, why does this matter?
Because Linux assigns its 'drive names' in the order of the ID's. sda, sdb, sdc, etc.
and the drives did not show up! Having seen your email I will retry it and set the id above the other drives.
thanks

I have a SCSI bus installed on a machine.
Right now it has Seagate ST34371W and Quantum XP34361WD drives on the bus
I would like to add a Seagate ST39175LW to the same bus.
Does anyone know if this would cause any problems?
Are there any rules that should be followed when mixing SCSI types on the same bus?
What type of SCSI are these drives? I can't tell without the specs of the drives. What level of SCSI are they?
In general, if they are 'like devices' that is, they all use the same type of cable and have the same speeds, there should be no problem.
You can usually have up to 7 SCSI devices on a controller (bus) but mixing devices of different speeds may cause performance slow-downs.
Just make sure you don't put the new drive in with a lower SCSI ID.
