Many drive manufacturers produce drives with firmware that will issue an error
condition after a RESET has been sent out on the SCSI bus. Some Mac Plus's
send out a reset after every time they scan the bus. If the Mac Plus finds an
error it will skip that drive. This was fixed with future macs i.e. Mac SE and
beyond.
