All but 140's 170's and 150's have "docking" capability.  You get the
docking cable, which is like a short SCSI cable with an extra pin (in the
upper RHS corner from memory) on the HDI end and a female instead of male
centronics on the other end.  You plug your normal SCSI system onto the
docking cable and the other end into your Mac.  The SCSI ID is set in the
powerbook setup control panel (do this before you plug in the cables). 
When all the cabling is together open your P/Book screen and turn it on,
nothing will happen on the P/Book screen but it will play it's chord and
the drive will spin up.  Give it a few seconds to spin up and then start
your Mac, when the "host" Mac initialises the SCSI bus the screen on the
P/Book will light and a large SCSI icon will appear with the SCSI ID the
machine is using.  When the mac gets through it's boot the P/Books HD will
appear on the desktop as another SCSI drive.
Hope this helps Cheers
