- If you connect an external disk to a PB100, you must use an external
- terminator on the PB100 even if the disk is internally terminated.
- See p.211 in the PowerBook Users Guide for a picture.
-
- As for connecting the PB100 as a disk drive (with the HDI-30 SCSI Disk
- Adapter), an external terminator may or may not be required. See p.213
- of the PowerBook Users guide for a picture.
-
- Just some general info.
