Suddenly not working or from the beginning?  I'm not an expert but I've 
made my share of mistakes and then figured them out - or had someone slap 
me up-along the back of the head ...

Do you have them all at separate device numbers?  Is there termination on
the SCSI chain?  Are the cables well seated?  Can you start with one
connected and get it to work?
   And then so we can pick the right nits.  What SCSI controller card are
you using and what types/models/makes of drives?
