Macintosh or (b) the end of the SCSI chain.
“Desktop Macintosh” includes all the models listed in the
illustration, as well as a PowerBook Duo in a Duo Dock.
The illustration shows which cables to use and where to add
cable terminators. Remove the terminator from the last device
in an existing chain before connecting the PowerBook.

8. Turn on the PowerBook by pressing the power button.
After a few seconds a SCSI icon appears on the screen,
showing the ID number you assigned in step 3.
s Warning: If you do not see the SCSI icon, and the computer
either starts normally or displays an error message, choose
Shut Down (if you can) and then immediately disconnect your
computer from the SCSI chain. If you can’t choose Shut
Down, you should disconnect the cable anyway, or you may
lose information. Then go back and repeat steps 4 through 8,
making sure that you have shut down all your equipment, that
you are using the correct cables, and that you have put
terminators in the correct places.

9. Turn on the other SCSI devices in the chain, if any.

PowerBook were an external disk drive.
