- Printers are not SCSI devices. They are usually AppleTalk (serial), or
- sometimes Direct serial connected.
- The Mac cpu is always SCSI address 7. If your computer has an internal
- hard drive, chances are it's SCSI address = 0. There can be up to six
- devices in between, but their SCSI ID's are not dependent on startup
- order... they each have a fixed ID #.
- Some hard drives let you change their ID's by software...avoid them.
