Not stupid (you never know with PowerBooks) and yes you can. I believe you
just set one to "on" (assuming you are trying to use one in SCSI disk mode
controlled by the other). Whatever dock you are using should be providing
termination power (I know the Mini Docks do, but am not sure about the Newer
Tech Micro Docks). The SCSI Docks should be set to on for the PowerBook to be
the SCSI disk and off for the PowerBook to be the active system. Termination
is actually irrelevant in this configuration as long as one PowerBook is
providing power. You will know this immediately as the green "on" light on
the SCSI Dock will not light if there is no Term. power. But, do not turn
both SCSI Dock's to the "on" position, or the "off" position for that matter.
Turn on the SCSI disk computer first and make sure you see the SCSI disk
icon. Then turn on the "master computer". If anything weird happens, pull the
SCSI cables out of the system PB immediately to avoid any data corruption,
then force restart.
