Interesting. Was the internal drive at the end SCSI ribbon properly
terminated (whether it was the boot drive or not)? I think I read that it's
rather critical internally.
Which brings up another question. Is the drive in the Duo itself the first
device on the SCSI chain or does it have it's own SCSI bus? Kind of like the
PPC8100 which had the boot drive on it's own SCSI bus but allowed only one
drive on that chain.
And if it is part of a single SCSI bus, what does that mean for the 2300
which is an IDE drive? Am I confusing the issue now?!?!?
