Actually, it's not all that weird. Using a regular SCSI cable, the PowerBook
would indeed see (and mount) all the Quadra's drives on the SCSI chain.
However, the fact that both motherboard SCSI controllers will be set to SCSI
ID 7, would cause some serious ID conflict issues. This might explain all
the I/O and data corruption errors.
