Whoa!  Be careful here!  Check your power supply.  Three hard disks are NOT
a good thing on a single power supply.  I had a 230W supply and two ST-506
type drives.  When I added the Seagate SCSI drive, I smoked the supply.  It's
possible that your supplies are crowbarring.

If you have one or two of these drives in a separate box and power supply, or
a big 300 or 350 watt supply then this is probably not the case.  Double check,
just to be sure.
