The usual reason people have problem hooking up disks to an NTX
printer is that the SCSI bus on that printer is a 50 pin connector,
NOT a 25 pin connector like it is on the Mac. The cable you need
is a 50 pin to 50 pin SCSI cable. If you were plugging into
the 25 pin connector on the NTX then you were hooking up the SCSI
disk to the serial input port on the printer.

If your disk is properly hooked up and the printer recognizes it then
the start page will have a little graphic which indicates that there
is a disk of some size, etc. If that isn't there then no utility is
going to recognize it via software.

Hope this helps,
