Laurie:
I have both this scanner and the other device on the chain fully
booted up before I start the computer. I have tried three different
SCSI ID numbers so far and two different slots for the host card.

To my knowledge, these things are all correct. There is total of six
feet of cable in the chain and the terminator is correct. Both
devices on the chain function perfectly. However, as I said, I can't
get the Linotype scanner to stay installed.
