Why isn't my Yamaha 4416S recognized after I install it?
The Yamaha 4416S cd-writer/rewriter, known as the 4x4x16, doesn't like to run at scsi ID 5 or 6. For that matter, it doesn't like 7 either. I've had devices mysteriously vanish and reappear on the 68 and 50-pin chains when the 4416 is at id 5 or 6. Try switching to id 3 or something. Also, be sure your HBA BIOS is the most recent version. There is good thread on Usenet about the 4416s being "intermittently detected."
