Re: SCSI Manager 4.3 and the Q900/950?

[Derek Morton]

A SCSI conflict will (should) only happen if both devices exist on the 
same physical bus.  Since the 900 / 950 has two physical busses, there 
should be no conflict, but the internal bus devices take precedence 
over the external bus devices (until 4.3 loads).  I mentioned in an 
earlier email that I will do some testing this weekend to verify 
whether or not this is the case (along with the Jackhammer having 4.3 
onboard idea).

I really cannot imagine needing more than seven SCSI devices...  
CD-ROM, M.O., Printer, Scanner...  This still leaves three for hard 
drives (and I doubt many people are running SCSI printers).  What else 
is there?  Perhaps I just don't have enough toys!  :-)

I'm very interested in that issue. If I understand correctly, the
initial boot-up sequence is performed purely by ROM code, so if the
Quadra-950's ROM isn't "SCSI manager 4.3-aware", the SCSI ID conflict
will happen, isn't it?
IMHO, your statement can be validated by very simple test: if we 
connect
some device (e.g. CD-ROM drive) to the external bus and set it to the
same ID as internal device (HDD), should it work then?
