IF the WIDE SCSI MUST be an end device then my statement about devices on both the WIDE and NARROW busses wouldn't work. Are they trying to say that "the HIGH byte of the WIDE bus is always terminated" and thus you couldn't put the MB connector in the middle of a WIDE cable (assumming you didn't use the NARROW cable at all)? -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
