I have one of those that was used on a IIgs.
If it was with a Mac Plus it would normally have a cenyronics to
DB25 cable, but that might have been misplaced. However any
Mac store will have this cable.
To set SCSI ID you'll have to open the unit and use jumper blocks on
the drive itself to do this. Though if it's the only SCSI device you're
using then SCSI id isn't too important.
I don't know of any way of checking whether it supplies term power
other than to just try it out. I believe the origional ones that came with
the unit did but it might not be the origional drive in the case.
If it diesn't supply term power you can always simply buy a terminator
that supplies term power. If a Mac dealer doesn't have one then they
likely have one of those diagnostic terminators which I believe all supply
term power.
