Apple 500 Series manual Simplifying the connection process

After a few seconds a SCSI icon appears on the screen, showing the ID number you assigned in step 3.

WARNING If you do not see the SCSI icon, and the computer starts normally or displays an error message, choose Shut Down (if you can) and then immediately disconnect your computer from the SCSI chain. (If you can’t choose Shut Down, try pressing the Power On, Command, Option, and Control keys simultaneously. If you cannot shut down your PowerBook, you should disconnect the cable anyway, or you may lose information.) Then go back and repeat steps 6 through 10, making sure to use the proper cables.

11Turn on the other SCSI devices in the chain, if any.

12Turn on the other computer.

The PowerBook appears as a hard disk icon on the screen of the computer you connected it to. You can now transfer and use files as if the PowerBook were an external disk drive.

Simplifying the connection process

If you regularly plan to use your PowerBook as a SCSI disk with the same computer, you can leave the SCSI disk adapter cable attached to the other computer or its SCSI chain. (Make sure a terminator is attached between the cable and the adapter.) When you want to use your PowerBook as a SCSI disk, simply shut down all devices and connect the adapter cable to the SCSI port on your PowerBook.

These cables can stay attached to your other computer or its SCSI chain.
