:The CDR35 must go at the end of the chain.  It only has one SCSI port
:and is only at address "1".  In an attempt to make it work, I trimed
:the bus down to just my internal drive and the CDR35.  All addresses
:were correct as was the termination.  No joy!  It was obvious from the
:bevahiour of the thing that it was not selecting correctly.  Even the
:docs seem to indicate that it had better be alone on the bus.  Too bad
:they don't say that in the ad ;-{.  No it is on the way back and I have
:already ordered my AppleCD SC.  Should have purchased the Apple one in
:the first place.

I had already eliminated the NEC, but I'm still debating between the
Toshiba (also sold by MacConnection) and the Apple. Why did you choose
Apple over Toshiba? Any reasons other than price?

P.S. (I know this discussion belongs in the hardware group, but I thought
the original poster might not get that group, so I've continued it here.)
