Actually, the scanner went both ways. When I first found out the thing wouldn't boot, I disconnected the scanner to see if it made a difference. That was my standard procedure through most of this, except when I started having checksum errors after pulling the terminators on the Maxtor. In _that_ case, reasoning that the line was unterminated on one end, I plugged in the scanners SCSI terminator pack (actually a DB25 pass-through, not SIP resistors). I _do_ have one of those 'newfangled 3.5" Syquests.' What did I (mistakenly) say to make you think otherwise? Haven't had a chance to open the machine yet to check things, but I write-protected the cart the other night and it hasn't gone south yet. Thanks for the version number, by the way. Rick
