Snip First of all, check the addresses. If you have scsi probe or just about any disk utility, they will tell you if you have address conflicts, or just check manually. Then check termination. The last item needs to be terminated. Some are terminated internally, some need a terminator attached. Lastly, change the order of the chain. Certain items like scanners like to be last, or change the addresses. And be sure to turn on the scsi devices before you start up. And never, never detach or attach a scsi device while the cpu is on.
