Definately works though ;-)
Not including the 7200, PCI motherboards have had two SCSI connectors: 10 Mb/sec and 5 Mb/s. The external SCSI connector is off of the 5 Mb/s SCSI port. So, these machines have two distinct SCSI busses, and both may be used. Generally, all internal devices are off of the 10 Mb/s bus and all external devices are off of the 5 Mb/s bus. Both buses can accommodate SCSI IDs 0 through 6, and there are no conflicts possible between the two. This has actually been true since 7.6.1 and SCSI Manager 4.3. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
