Hello
>How can I give this ID ?
Press on delete to enter setup of novaxis.
press H to change host id, type the number (4 to 7)
press enter, press S to save.
In Basic you can do this by typing this command:
call sethostid(#)
# may be 4 to 7
Btw: use target Id to boot from another harddisk then the
one with ID 0
for more basic commands: type CALL INFO at the basic prompt.

Yes, that is true. You will probably lose more then just a
couple of files. You might lose your whole partition....

For AFAIK there is no such version. And then again it does
not work with novaxis.

That is right.

SCSI <- NMS 8250

In this case both computers need terminators.
Btw: I have had configurations with completely no
terminators in the interfaces and just then it would work...
That was very strange...
