I was under the impression that, with a few possible exceptions, all 68k MAcs were single bus.
I think you are on the right track. I have a Quadra 950, and it is the first Mac I ever owned that has dual SCSI buses. Everything else has just had a single bus.
I also have a 950, and have two questions on this topic (probably should join the Quadra list).
1) If you want to use the second bus to connect to a second internal drive, should that drive be terminated, and if so, does that mean you cannot connect an external SCSI device? My idea was to set up a second HD as a mirror.
2) I added a CDROM drive. Do Apple CDROMs act as terminators? I see that there is a jumper that says "Termination Power". Does this control the CDROM terminator (switch it on or off) or just whether it supplies the busses termination power or not?
Thanks for any advice.
