- There are two different SCSI cables for a PB100. The HDI-30 has a weird-30
- connector and a SCSI 50-way female. This is the PB100 docking cable (turns
- the PB100 into a SCSI disk). There's also a SCSI cable for all PowerBooks
- which lets them use other disks: this has a weird-30 connector with one
- pin missing, and a 50-way SCSI male on the other end.
-
- I have mounted my PB100 as a disk on my PB140, using both cables. If you're
- getting flashing "?" icons and the like, it suggests a SCSI termination
- problem. Unfortunately, I don't understand SCSI termination...
