However, when I then connect the CD-ROM drive to a Mac SE/30 running 7.5.5 using the DB25 to C50 cable no CD pops up on the desktop. I then tried the drive with a regular SE and then on a Classic. The SE and Classic were running 7.0.1 and neither indicated they were seeing the CD.
I then began to suspect the cable, so I plugged the drive intoa Power Mac 7300. Doing so causes the computer to lockup after it gets to the desktop. On the compact Macs and the Powerbook I had the drive setup as device #3. Since the PM already has an internal SCSI CD on #3, I set the 300e to #5.
I've never used external SCSI devices before. Is my hunch that the cable is bad correct, or am I missing a config or compatibility issue?
Since the cables are relatively cheap I ordered another one online so I can test my hunch.
Oh, almost forgot, I have an active SCSI terminator plugged into the 300e's other SCSI port (top one).
