I have same problem as original poster.
 
I have just bought the scsi 25-pin cable to finally connect my SCSI BOX with a non formatted HD and a CDROM. In theearly boot startup I have DFO and CC0, while when typing version 1230scsi.device in shell I get version 7.19 (o smt like that)
 
I have connected the cable at one of the SCSI 50-pin sockets, and to the other a terminal scsi plig.
 
The problem is that both the CD-ROM and HD do not show on WB to laod files or format respectively.
 
I have a plain WB3.1 from floppy (with installed PCMCIA-CF transfer card).
 
I noticed that on booting, the amiga CD-ROM LED flashes on/off as there issome sign of communication.
 
Despite that nothing comes on WB and the devices hence appear to be useless
 
PS: in the early startupm there is something reckognised in the diagnostic menu, assumingly the blizzard card. It say 'working'

Thanks but it was all software prob. I nearly managed to solve it.
 
First, one have to mount the drive by:
 
1) Copy (Drag that is) CD0 file from WB Storage disk located indevs/dosdrivers to WB3.1 main disk (also Devs/dosdrivers)
 
2) Click on the CD0 icon (at WB3.1 disk) once and select information (or Amiga+I)
 
3) Edit the lines so as it reads device = 1230scsi.device and unit = 2. The unit number is the SCSI number for the drive, and if it does not work you can randomly check from 0 to 7
 
4) Reboot to mount
 
==================================
 
Now, when I rebooted, I still got nothing on WB, and there were I started to scratch my hair. Finally I found that a file is neede in L:. I checked my L: of WB3.1 disk and did not have. (The file was called something like CDhandler). I found CDFileSystem in the L dir of Storage and placed it in L of WB3.1 I had to delete some files to make enough space
 
On rebooting,while loading WB3.1 the drive was spining and WB got jammed until I ejected the CD. Once WB loaded and I inserted the CD, it appeared on WB screen and files could be accessed.  
 
My problem is now that jamming effect during WB loading. I think that I have to copy a different file from CDFileSystem.. or what - I am almost there :hammer:
