Connecting Additional Equipment
Where to add cable terminators when connecting two or more SCSI devices:
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 as a hard disk. The
PowerBook appears on the desktop of the other computer as a hard disk icon,
and you can transfer information between the computers by dragging files.
This feature is called SCSI disk mode.
The Apple HDI-30 SCSI Disk Adapter cable is dark gray (the same color as
your PowerBook computers), is about 10 inches long, and has 30 pins.
Connecting your computer as a SCSI disk
Before making any connections, you need to assign a unique SCSI ID number
to the PowerBook. (The unique ID number allows the computer to
communicate with several connected devices.)
1Choose Control Panels from the Apple (
K
) menu of your PowerBook computer.
2 Open the PowerBook Setup control panel.
WARNING
Follow the steps for connecting and disconnecting SCSI
devices carefully to avoid loss of information and damage to your
equipment.
