Perhaps you can enlighten me: In my SCSI chain I have a Syquest EZ, a HD, a CD burner and a Scanner. So far I have always shut down the computer to switch any device on or off. In addition I always have the scanner on (when it is connected; I am on a laptop, so I don't always have my SCSI chain connected), because it is the last device in the chain and is terminated internally 1) Should the scanner always be on, or will the termination work with it off? 2) If it doesn't need to be on, can I freely switch it on or off when it is not in use, or can I just switch it on while the computer is running but not off? 3) From what you are saying I understand I can switch the other devices on while the computer is running. Can I also switch them off (obviously after unmounting any media in them) while the computer is running? 4) Is there any risk of Data loss, or damage when doing any of this?
