Fred, I'm pretty sure you commited one of the serious SCSI sins: hot-plugging a device not designed for hot-plugging.Change of pace. It have a 2400 basic model. I pluggged in a printer via the Scauzzi adapter, while power to the printer was on. Now on starting the sceen has whittish colour but no operating system shows. The chimes of machine starting up don't occur. Any suggestions of how to get the operating system to show up - or have I blown a circuit? There isnt a green light on.Fred
IIRC the SCSI port of the 2400c can basically kill the powerbook if you hot plug a device into it. I'd be willing to bet you fried your I/O board.
A SCSI device chain requires all devices to be powered off while devices are added to the bus. The exception is specific hot-swappable items, but they usually have a hot-plug subsystem that is independant of the main SCSI bus that connects them to the host computer.
regards,
