I am currently using a Rodime 100M drive with the NTX and it works just
fine. I think I currently have about 30 ADOBE fonts installed on it. I
believe the Rodime drives are the same physical drives that Apple uses
as internals on the SE. I'm surprized that DF drives don't work. We have
about 15 of them here and have never had any trouble daisy-chaining them
to all and sundry SCSI devices (scanners, tapedrives, SE's port, etc.).
One obvious thing you might try is increasing the SCSI port address on
the DF to a higher value before attaching to NTX.
