I have sold those adapters before and there are two types. I believe one is 29
pin (no switch on it) and the other is 30 pin but it had a switch on it that
allowed you to switch between scsi disk mode and regular scsi. Also it had a
little led that lit up when in scsi disk mode. I do know there is a certain order
you have to turn on the powerbooks. Have you tried connecting in scsi disk mode
to any desktops to see if everything is working? I always thought you could
connect two powerbooks together but am not sure. Do they both have IR on them you
may be able to communicate that way.
