That APS SCSI adaptor will work well with your Duo; its only shortcoming is that it has no latch to hold it in place, but the SCSI Microdock tends to hold it in. As a side note it doesn't work so well with a 2400 because the built-in SCSI port is kind of recessed and blocked by the case shroud (this can be addressed by opening the APS adaptor and shifting the pin package forward, but that's another story). The little LED indicates whether SCSI termination power is present, one of the nice features of that adaptor. At least one device on your chain should light it up when turned on. It's not to indicate the switch position, since you can always tell that by...looking at the switch. ;) The slide switch should be set to the normal-looking SCSI symbol (one line). The other setting puts a Powerbook in SCSI target mode, the same thing you can achieve by holding down the 'z' key while booting with a SCSI Microdock or Ultradock on a Duo. -- Marc Sira | [EMAIL PROTECTED] "If you can't play with words, what good are they?" ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
