For those without a handy Mac reference book two very good sites for information on all things SCSI are:
<http://www.scsifaq.org> and <http://www.scsita.org> The first is Gary Field's SCSI Faq's very user friendly. The second is the SCSI Trade Association, more technical but lots of links. Granite Digital also has a good SCSI basics explanation on there web site at <http://www.scsipro.com> SCSI is also well covered in all of David Pogue and Joseph Shorr's "MacWorld Mac Secrets" book. They are up to edition 6 now and the earlier editions, 5, 4, etc., can be found used on book sites for less than $10.00. Any of them do a good job explaining SCSI I.D. and terminations, plus hordes of other useful Mac tips. Just FYI.
