We just bought an Infinity Turbo 40 from PLI, and I seem to recall that they were very specific in the way you could boot the system. First, they required that a cartridge be in the drive _before_ power up. After you were powered up, you could "throw" the disk icon in the trash, and then manually eject it from the drive. Secondly, the Turbo 40 is internally terminated, so depending upon the configuration of your system determined where it had to be placed. The Turbo 40 was either the first or last SCSI device in the system, but nothing in between. If you already have an external SCSI device that is terminated (like your Direct Drive), and the Mac II internal drive is terminated, then I'm not sure exactly what will happen. That seems to me to be too many terminators and you may have to end up cutting some resistors. BTW, the cartridge drives are identical (Syquest). Hope that helps.
