SCSI ID setting -- PLEASE HELP!



SUMMARY:  How do I set the SCSI ID of an Apple 160 MB hard drive to
anything but ZERO if I want to use it as an external drive.

I have a 160 MB Apple HD that I reomved from my 6100/60.  I replaced the
drive with a Quantum 730.  The 730 is working fine, but...

When I put the 160 MB in the 730's case (it had been an external), it
continued to think of itself as SCSI ID 0.  Which--as most of us know--is
the ID the internal drive ALWAYS has.  So I cannot access it.  The
external's case has a SCSI selector, but the wires from the selector
switch end in a connector that deosn't have a place on the 160.

Does this make sense?  There IS a row of jumpers on the front of the 160
MB drive, but only one plastic connector thingy (is there a name?).  I
hesitate to start fooling, but I would like to get this drive back in
service.

Apple Computer (800/SOS-APPLE) talked to me like I was out of my mind and
told me they couldn't help.  My local dealer told me to call Apple.  <G>

Help!  MRJ
