Re: Testing an apple ii scsi card without a scsi hard drive?

[powergs@macgui.com (Sam Latella)]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the information on termination and how it should work and the
difference.  Also, I will test it out first with the Chinook SCSI Utilities.
Is the utility disk some where on the web for download?

I will let you know my findings and results.  I suspect I may have problems
with an original Apple SCSI card it seems to be missing a main chip on the
board itself.  Still can't figure out which chip this is.
