Well I have seven devices on a SCSI port (CPU, Int HD, CD-ROM, Ext HD,
Scanner, Tape backup unit and DaynaFile) and I have the CD player
in the middle.....of course I had to rearrange everything for four
hours to get it to work and then I had to remove the terminator
that was on the end.  That's correct, I only have one terminator
(internal HD) in my system.  Hello Apple.....please preach to
us and give us devine intervention....why the #$%^& does the 
SCSI bus present so many problems????

Like the MacUser article (Aug 90, pager 243) says, 
"SCSI Problems? Who you gonna call? 

1) Your psychiatrist, for a renewal of your Valium 
   prescription.
2) Your former spouse, bacause you could use a little less
   harassment today.
3) Apple, to see if it has started a customer-service
   organizaiton yet.
4) The folds at your apple dealer, just to see what inane
   suggestion they'll come up with.
5) The spirit world
   through the medium of a voodoo practitioner. (end quote)
