On my 2940UW I have one wide and one narrow connector internally and one wide connector externally. Since I have both wide and narrow devices connected internally, I was unable to use the external connector. My solution was to get a plate connector which connected to the internal narrow bus and provided an external connection. cheers, carey nairn At 09:42 2/02/99 +1030, Greg Lehey wrote: >On Monday, 1 February 1999 at 12:28:45 -0800, K.
