- Here's the story.... the IIFX has the funky problem of being
- equipped with a slightly different SCSI connector than other
- Macs. The real problem that comes up is not in the wiring- it
- is in the way it is terminated.
-
- I thought the FX used to come with a special FX terminator.
- If yours didn't, you will have to talk to an Apple dealer,
- and make sure that the end of your SCSI chain is terminated
- with the FX terminator.
-
- With any luck, this should bring your Mac to a happy little
- recognition of the SCSI chain.
