Summary:    [1]  Although  a number of   people  suggested powering down,  Sam
Goldberger told me that the  SCSI bus is silent in  the ROM monitor. (Powering
down is actually  inconvenient   for me,  because I  have    auto-startup set;
unfortunately, NeXT software does not distinguish between a controlled power
down and a pull-plug power down, and always restarts itself.)

[2]  Everyone suggested I should power  down  hard-disks first;  for one, they
set or signal their SCSI ID at power on.

[3]  Everyone  suggested powering down hard  disks before moving them, because
most disks have special head storage zones.

Thanks to everyone.
