It seems you have a "dock" that is either switchable, or you have a dedicated SCSI dock adapter, not a regular powerbook SCSI adapter.
The switchable adapter, when in dock mode, turns your powerbook into just a disk drive, with a icon marching on the screen to tell you what the SCSI ID is, when hooked up to the desktop via a SCSI cable. Your powerook doesn't boot in this situation. Solution, either flip the switch on the dock adapter the other way, or buy a powerbook scsi adapter not a docking-only adapter. >I recently purchased a scsi zip drive for my 1400 running thru a scsi dock. >I installed everything as per Powerbook manual and Iomega manual but when I >start up I get a scsi number ploddinh across my screen at startup and >nothing else. > >Do anyone know where I should direct my attentions: at the Zip drive or at >the Powerbook? > -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
