SCSI Target Disk Mode?

Author	Topic
SlowMac New Member USA 70 Posts	Posted - 19 Apr 2003 : 14:32:34 I've never used SCSI target disk mode can someone give me a quick lesson on how to set it up? Here are my questions: Do I use a regular SCSI cable? What computer do I power up first? The PowerBook then the Mac I want to access the drive from? Does the PowerBook need to be put into some special mode? Can I use the PowerBook while it's in SCSI disk mode? Thanks again for any help you can give.

Get the user manual off Gamba2 or the Apple site and follow the instructions about whether or not you'll need an additional pass thru terminator or not. You'll need a special SCSI Disk Mode cable or an adapter for a standard cable. When you boot the PB (first) with it hooket up, it'll come up looking like any other SCSI peripheral device at whatever ID you've set in the PowerBook control panel. Boot the Mac after the SCSI icon appears with the ID number in it and starts marching around as a screen saver. The PB is unusable while in SCSIDM. jt ™. Trash Hauler: call sign: eight-ball C.O.

It didn't even occur to me to download the owners manual. I guess that's because it was to easy to do. Thanks again for correcting my ignorance. SM I like it slow
