6 If you share your MiniSCSI Plus adapter among

several systems or carry it for use on other sys-

tems, do not use the /M1 switch unless you are

absolutely sure that the other systems are com-

patible. Changes may take place to the system

configuration in your absence. It is better to run a

little slower than to take a chance on corrupting

your data.

Additional /M Switch Options

Switch settings /M2 and /M3 correspond to /M0 and

/M1 but force the adapter to operate in undirectional

mode. A few computers (such as the NEC Prospeed

SX/20) are incorrectly seen by the MiniSCSI Plus as

being equipped with a bidirectional parallel port,

instead of the actual unidirectional configuration.

This situation can cause data corruption, but using

/M2 (instead of /M0) or /M3 (instead of /M1) forces the

MiniSCSI Plus to use unidirectional mode and

should fix the problem.

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem during installation, check the

items below. Be sure to read the Troubleshooting sec-

tion in the Software User Guide for other related error

messages and remedies.

Note: You cannot boot from a device con-

nected to your MiniSCSI Plus, because your

computer does not expect to boot from a

device connected to the parallel port. There-

fore, your MiniSCSI Plus device drivers

must be loaded during the boot process from

another disk.

■ Make sure all cables are properly connected.

■ Make sure all SCSI devices have unique SCSI IDs.

■ Make sure the SCSI bus is correctly terminated.

Network Installations

If your computer is part of a network installation,

your printer port may be redirected to a network
