Situation: We recently purchased a NeXT CD which arrived without the  
cables. We then went out, bought a scsi cable & terminator and hooked it  
up to one of our cubes here. When we turn the machine on it won't come up  
all the way and we get the error message "scsi selection failed". Our  
presumption is that the CD is reponsible (since the cube boots fine  
without it).

We've tried several things, but nothing has worked. Anyone had similar  
experience or maybe suggestions?

P.S. Please, no "read the manual" responses. The distributor, using some  
sort of weird business logic, did not think it appropriate to enclose a  
manual with the machine.
