If you are not going to connect any other SCSI devices to this machine just
leave th pins with nothing connected to them It will give an ID of zero but
as long as you are not adding to the chain this will not be a problem. Also 
if you want to move the drive to add to the SCSI chain on another machine 
this setting will insure that the original drive on the other machine will
be the boot drive.  Apple II machines boot from the highest number device
unless you have a RamFast card where you can select you boot partition.
