I am new to this NeXT world. I have an external Seagate SCSI disk
originally was connected to a SUN SparcStation. When I tried to
connect the disk to a NeXTstation (TurboColor), the machine complained
the SCSI error and the system would not boot. I changed the target ID
of the disk several times with the same error.

I was wondering if there is any difference between the SCSI on NeXT
and the one on SUN Sparc? Or, did I do something wrong? FYI, I used
the SCSI cable from SUN for connecting the disk to the NeXT box.

I am sure the SCSI interface of the NeXT box is OK as a scanner connected
to it works fine.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance,

-Ning

This worked for me. But don't forget the Schwarzenegger, rsp. terminator.

I took the drive directly from an IPX an formatted it under NS 3.0.

Works fine.

I believe SUN conforms to SCSI-2 whereas NeXT to SCSI-1. So, don't forget  
to set the jumper switch to work in asynchronized mode.
But, judging from the symptom, it may be a terminator problem.
