Netters,

I'm thinking of hooking up a CD-ROM drive in my SCSI chain and I was wondering: 

<<<
would it be a problem if one or more peripherals in the chain were OFF when I
use the computer? Or is this dependent on the card and peripherals.
>>>

Reason I ask is I'm hoping to not have to power up all peripherals in the chain 
during usage.

Thanks. I'm using a friend's account. If you wish to respond via email, please
direct it to cheng@silver.geoworks.com.
