It's been warned that turning on external SCSI devices can send a power surge through the chain damaging a component. My advice: Get yourself a stack of post-it notes and put one on the monitor with the words,
"SCSI first, why? Because we hate buying replacement parts."
or maybe:
"If you don't know how to properly boot up this computer & peripherals, BUY A PC and suffer with the masses!!!"

First off in ten years of running SCSI chains and some intense experience at that i have never ever heard this warning nor ever had a SCSI device fail other than a hard drive that just got plain worn out.
I am not saying it cannot happen. But i would not worry about a " power surge " other than one that comes when you forget to shut off the power strip during a thunderstorm.
Second please do not insult or otherwise make undue comments about or try to chase other listers away from the list or toward your favorite platform.
It was this kind of thing that was complained about on the list just last night.
All questions are welcome. We are all here to help one another.
Please refrain from the negative vibes !
