Re: Baffling SCSI

Thanks Penman, but all the IIes I tried the card on were enhanced,
all with Apple made enhancements. Other Hi-Speed SCSI cards
work with these machines and hard drives but the one card won't
work on any IIe but will work with a IIgs. My thoughts are now
that given the symptoms it's likely a defective PAL, however I'm
hoping someone's run into this problem and has a better diagnosis.
