Henning, SCSI is often not logical when connections get a bit complicated, or even when they're simple. On my last computer I had 4 SCSI chains; 2 simple ones allowing 7 devices and 2 of the 15 device kind. Some combinations needed termination in the middle, There is never any reason to

Tom, The input is a SCSI 1 cable (50 pin) the output (to another SCSI device) is 25 pin. I believe either can be used to connect to the SCSI card. Austin Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with

Hi Tom, ...my SCSI card is device 7 (the maximum) thus auto termination is working. You know that device ID number and auto termination aren't linked at all. The SCSI device ID can be anything, the order only matters for boot if you don't specify a specific device to boot from...at least

Actually, I suspect your thinking wasn't correct previously (and it appears to me your still not set up correctly now). In regard to the SS4000, this might explain why the 25 pin wasn't working correctly. Since it was not terminated, in spite of being the last physical device on that side of the

I like the Adaptec SCSI cards and I suggest that your friend get one that can service both internal and external devices. The cards that usually come with scanners or other SCSI devices are usually bare bones cards that only have either internal or external connecters and are thus limited. My
