Re: IIgs doesn't see the SCSI harddrive.........

Thanks for your suggestion.

If I convert the SCSI card to provide Term_Pwr, how do I then use drives
that both provide Term_Pwr and those that don't ?

I assume there's no problem with those that don't. Just "plug 'em in".

But, what about drives that do ?

Thanks again,

Courtney
