Maurice - Thank you for your comment on the above subject.

          It turned out that it was due to a bad (flaky) SCSI-SCSI
          cable.  This is a  cable that I got free of charge from
          EduCorp when I bought the CD PortaDrive at the MacWorld
          Expo (SF) this year (yuck yuck yuck!).

          I noticed it by wiggling the cable on the connector while
          watching the "SCSI Bus not terminated" message with
          a cdev "SCSI Probe".

          Today I got a brand-new SCSI-SCSI cable from the local
          ComputerWare store and now everything is back in business.

          By the way, in my case, the cable configuration I ended
          up with is -


   IIci -----+     +-----------+    +-Terminator
             |     |           |    |
             |     |           |    |
           APS 45R Drive    CDTech Drive

          This works for any combinations of APS and CDTech on/off
          status.   I don't think neither APS 45R nor CDTech are
          internally terminated.  Is it not right?
                                                       - Nobu
