Hi Pete, Good to know! I guess you're up early and I'm up late. Just read this on a site: The last connector at the opposite end of the cable must always be connected to the terminated SCSI device. If there are two hard drives specified in a unit's configuration, the higher capacity drive should be set to ID 0, the other drive should be set to ID 1. Since the CD-ROM is terminated, neither hard drive should be terminated. But why, now that I've removed the CD from the center bay on my 660AV, can I keep casually plugging various HD's in there, after having set the ID correctly but not bothered with termination? > I've had a zip in my Umax for some time but >I've never had a disk for it....heheh Well at least you have the reassurance of knowing that your Umax has got Zip :�) Cheers, Terry in British Columbia. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
