I've never had a problem sharing a scanner with a cd burner on one chain. Both have run reliably on it for years. That's what SCSI is all about - fast reliable bus sharing - and is probably why it's been around for so long. I've never even heard of devices interfering with each other on a scsi chain, unless they try to grab the same ID. -=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Graeme Robinson - Graenet consulting www.graenet.com - internet solutions -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==---=-=--=-=-= -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
