Hi Derek, I'm very interested in that issue. If I understand correctly, the initial boot-up sequence is performed purely by ROM code, so if the Quadra-950's ROM isn't "SCSI manager 4.3-aware", the SCSI ID conflict will happen, isn't it? IMHO, your statement can be validated by very simple test: if we connect some device (e.g. CD-ROM drive) to the external bus and set it to the same ID as internal device (HDD), should it work then?
