That is not exactly true.  I have currently hooked to my mac II one external
jasmine 50 (off) and one APS syquest (on), and an internal quantum 105.

I have never been able to to leave the SyQuest off and boot off my internal
drive.  I asked APS about this and they said that the SCSI terminator
on the SyQuest needed to be powered up inorder to work.  Consquently I 
power up the drive inorder to boot my mac from the internal drive if 
the SyQuest is hooked up.  EOS
