Jeff, Clarification question: On the c600 which has the combo internal/external SCSI bus, is the external SCSI Port the end of the internal part of the chain? Further back in the post you said the following: > The same rules apply to the C600. There should be some device at the > end of its SCSI cable and that device should have termination > enabled. If there is already a device on the end of the cable and > it is supplying termination, then yes, you can put the SCSI hard > drive on any convenient intermediate connector on the SCSI chain and > termination should be disabled on this drive going in the middle. I am trying to avoid double terminating the SCSI chain. If I put the SCSI drive in the c600 on the end of the internal SCSI cable, and terminate it, what am I doing to the external SCSI devices. I currently have them terminated at the end of the external chain. Nancy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
