Steve, My assumption is that, with the power off, the drive's SCSI drivers wouldn't be entirely transparent. Maybe I'm assuming the worst but unless I could verify otherwise, I'd be pessimistic about SCSI bus performance. As far as putting a SCSI ID remote switch in, you'd have to check out what sort of switches are used on the drive itself. If the ID is strapped with three pairs of shorting jumpers, you're in luck. It would be quite easy to extend this via ribbon cable to a multi-pole switch (aka wafer switch). If your drive has an encoded switch (one switch, marked 0-7), then your best bet is to have a clearance hole in the chassis to allow convenient external switching. Good luck, ___ /__) ,_ _ _ _/__) / /__/ /_ /_-' PreVue Technologies Amiga Vendor section #5
