Simplifying the connection process
If you plan to use your Macintosh PowerBook regularly as a SCSI disk
with the same computer, you can leave the SCSI 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 hard 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.

WARNING Always disconnect your Macintosh PowerBook from the adapter cable when you are not using it as a hard disk. Your PowerBook will not work correctly if the adapter cable remains attached.
