IMPORTANT
The total length of a SCSI chain should not exceed 20 feet
(6 meters). Apple SCSI cables are designed to meet this restriction. If you are
using SCSI cables from another vendor, check the length of the chain.
Using your PowerBook as a SCSI disk
You can purchase a cable called the Apple HDI-30 SCSI Disk Adapter which
lets you connect your PowerBook to another computer and use the
PowerBook as a hard disk. The PowerBook appears as a hard disk icon on the
screen of the other computer, and you can transfer information between the
computers by dragging files. This feature is called SCSI disk mode. The
PowerBook Duo Dock and Duo Dock II do not support SCSI disk mode.
WARNING
Follow the steps for connecting and disconnecting SCSI
devices carefully to avoid loss of information and damage to your
equipment.
WARNING
Once your SCSI devices are connected, always turn them on
before turning on your PowerBook. If you turn the computer on first, it
may not be able to start up, or it may not recognize the SCSI devices.
