Note that some disks are not labelled with WIDE SCSI; however the DEC part number may have "W" in it, eg: SHWHB-GB (but you can't rely on this either!).

I've had this happen before... a long time ago anyway.
Check the disk. In my case I tried to put a WIDE SCSI disk into a narrow shelf. Result, not even recognized.
Pulled it out, looked at the label, and in the wise words of Homer Simpson said "Dogh!!" when I read "4GB WIDE SCSI".

Is that right. I just plugged in a brand spanking new
spare (well it's
been on the shelf for a while) into a 330's shelf and the
disk was not
detected even after several tries (a defective spare?). I
pop a different
disk in and it is detected immediately. I wonder whether
that was the
problem, whether the shelf is becomming flakey, oe whether
it was simply a
bad spare.
