Using your PowerBook as a SCSI disk
You can purchase a cable called the Apple HDI-30 SCSI Disk Adapter which
lets you connect your PowerBook to another computer as a hard disk. The
PowerBook appears on the desktop of the other computer as a hard disk icon,
and you can transfer information between the computers by dragging files.
This feature is called SCSI disk mode.
Connecting your computer as a SCSI disk
Before making any connections, you need to assign a unique SCSI ID number
to the PowerBook.
1 Choose Control Panels from the Apple (
K
) menu of your PowerBook computer.
2 Open the PowerBook Setup control panel.
3 In the SCSI Disk Mode ID section of the control panel, click the ID number you want to
assign.
If you are connecting the PowerBook to an existing SCSI chain, make sure to
give it an ID number different from those of the other devices.
4 Close the PowerBook Setup control panel.
5 Turn off the PowerBook by choosing Shut Down from the Special menu.
WARNING
Follow the steps for connecting and disconnecting SCSI
devices carefully to avoid loss of information and damage to your
equipment.
