- I would contact ICD for exact information, (815) 968-2228 ask for Howard.
- But I have connected multiple external drives to my ICD AdSCSI+. The
- 50 pin cable runs from the host adapter to the dirve in the case to the
- external 50 pin SCSI connector. I use an external terminating resistor
- that is inside a SCSI connector hood. So I can just daisy chain SCSI
- devices, moving the terminator to the last drive.
-
- I know that ICD will only make their CD-ROM software for the ACSI port
- available with either the LINK host adapter, or the Professional version
- of their software. It may be the same for the floptical software, but I
- recommend calling ICD and verify.
