II FX SCSI PROBLEMS WITH DEVICE THAT WORKS WITH II SI The strange stories continue. I have a Xerox Scanner 7650 that used to work fine with a IIfx and a IIsi, but Xerox had shipped it with a frayed and tattered cable (How did they win the Baldridge Award, by buying it?) So the cable stopped working, and I got a new one from MacConnection. Interestingly, the cable and scanner work fine with the IIsi's SCSI port BUT the IIfx even fails to see the scanner connected. Trying to force it to mount or update said the SCSI chain was not terminated (even though this works fine with the IIsi). Could it be that good old Apple Computer has different (incompatible) types of SCSI ports on the II fx and si. (eg the modem ports on them are built differently a few weeks ago each of my WorldBlazer modems failed to work with the II sis while they worked with the II fxs. [Maybe Apple should also be getting a Baldridge Award ;-) ] Imran Anwar
