[filmscanners] RE: Which SCSI Card for SS4000

You know that device ID number and auto termination aren't linked at all.
The SCSI device ID can be anything, the order only matters for boot if you
don't specify a specific device to boot from...at least that's true with
most SCSI BIOS's.

Perfect...

Check that the flatbed scanner IS terminated.

It's the last PHYSICAL device (not SCSI ID related) that needs
termination...so your HP flatbed should be terminated, as well as what ever
internal device you have that's the last on the chain.  No other devices
should be terminated.  And...just a suggestion, keep the cable lengths equal
on your outside the box devices...if you use a 3' cable from the computer to
the SS4k, use a 3' cable from the SS4k to the flatbed.

Regards,

Austin
