RHB I found it works. I'm always screwing around with adding devices to equipment that I give away, or fix up for friends. I tend to add them to address 1,2 or 4 and reserve 6 for removables (syquest), 3 is usually set aside for CDROMS & 5 for zips. If I terminate 0, the internal HD, I can remove terminator jumpers or turn off termination on external devices that enable that function, and go on about my business with no problems.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the order the SCSI chain is checked is from the higher nimbers down to 0. Jim...does this make sense to you / Cheers...Michael >Why for?
