I note that older G3 powerbooks have a SCSI connector which does not
look like the normal one. What is the adapter called to match the
normal SCSI cable and what are the plugging/unplugging precautions.

ahhhhh the HDI 30 SCSI adaptor
(<http://www.mcpb.com/html/adp.d25xx.hdi.html>)... there was a time
when my working day lived or died by if I remembered to pack the HDI
30 SCSI adaptor... now it depends on me remembering the Apple
proprietary FireWire cable for my 15 G iPod (which gets it's main
work out as an external hard drive) and is at least 1/30th of the
physical size of my 8G SCSI drive
SCSI HDI 30 to what ever SCSI pin you need - usually DB25 for
scanners or adaptor ended scsi cables
the site listed above gives a dozen odd examples of different HDI30
to whatever SCSI adaptors.
should be able to pick them up for under $30 (if they're still around
- this ones on the US e-bay
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2773794450&category=25436>)
as for plugging and un plugging - exactly the same precautions as
with tower/desktop systems every thing shut down plug in cables
power up. You are s'possed to practice safe SCSI and power
everything down before disconnecting devices or connecting additional
devices.
