Connecting the MiniSCSI Plus
WARNING: Turn OFF the computer, printer,
and SCSI devices when connecting or dis-
connecting the MiniSCSI Plus. This protects
against damage to any components.
Connect the MiniSCSI Plus parallel port connector to
a parallel printer port on your computer. You may
use either LPT1, LPT2 or LPT3—the MiniSCSI Plus
drivers automatically detect which port is in use.
If your parallel printer port has a copy-protection
device (commonly known as a dongle) or other non-
printer product connected to it, you should remove
the device from your printer port and connect it to
the printer passthrough connector on the MiniSCSI
Plus. If this arrangement causes any problems, either
the dongle or the MiniSCSI Plus must be relocated to
a different parallel port.
Connecting SCSI Peripherals
1 Connect the first SCSI device to the SCSI connec-
tor on the MiniSCSI Plus.
2 Connect other SCSI devices (up to seven total) by
daisy-chaining them to the first SCSI device.
SCSI devices are daisy-chained by connecting
cables in a single, continuous series called the
SCSI bus. SCSI bus cables must run directly from
one device to the next, with no branches. The
SCSI connector on the MiniSCSI Plus is a 50-pin
Centronics-type external connector.
Caution: The MiniSCSI Plus supports only
single-ended SCSI devices. Do not connect
differential SCSI devices to it. Read the
device’s documentation to determine
whether it is single-ended or differential.
