- Yes, 7 ;) (only 7 non-host SCSI ID's, for those who don't know
- SCSI).
-
- Check that you have the last device terminated, and no others,
- also check that aren't trying to use the same ID as one of
- the internal devices (hinv output helps).
-
- Make sure you have good external cables, not the parallel port
- printer cables that happen to look similar (and aren't!).
