Hi -- Thanks for the reply.  I have tried it with the ID set to 0, no
luck.  I've actually tried every ID, for good measure.

I am using one of the "terminated" IDs, which according to the manual
provide their own termination power.  Just for good measure I also
tried out the "unterminated" IDs, but they clearly didn't work.
Interestingly, the device's access light blinks continually when one
is selected, as if it knows that it is not terminated and is
complaining?

On a side note, if I attempt to hit PR#7 from a BASIC prompt, after
much delay I get a "SCSI BOOT ERROR" message.  I don't get this with a
normal cold-boot since it seems to failover automatically to slot 6.
