Note 1: Check to be sure that the SCSI device number of your CD-ROM drive does
not conflict with the number for your hard disk, Zip Drive, etc.. Each device on
the SCSI chain should have a different number, usually in the range 1-6. #6 is
usually reserved for the device you wish to boot, such as a hard disk. (A
drive's SCSI number is usually set via a switch on the back.) SCSI number does
not need to relate to position on the chain.
Note 2: The last device on the SCSI chain (i.e. the drive which is physically at
the end of the chain) should have its Termination set to ON and Termination for
other SCSI devices shoud be set to OFF. If your CD-ROM Drive is the only SCSI
device, Termination should be ON. (Actually, a SCSI interface card may be able
to handle two devices with Termination set to ON. However, you are likely to
have problems if the last device on the chain has Termination set OFF.)
3- A SCSI cable. Common SCSI plug/socket sizes are 50-pin and 25-pin. Get a
cable which matches your CD-ROM drive and the device you plan to plug into (i.e.
a SCSI hard disk, Zip Drive, ..., or your SCSI interface card).
