printf( "%s\n", "hello world!" ); 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? /* ed murphy grad student cs uno bfd */ 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.

Anyone had similar =>experience or maybe suggestions? => Make sure the SCSI id of the CD-Rom != the SCSI of the internal drive of the Cube. Make sure the SCSI of the Rom drive is higher than the ID of the boot device as the NeXT will boot the device with the lowest first by default! The internal drive is _usually_ set to an SCSI id of 1, but this is not always the case. If you have two devices set to the same id, things generally won't work well... Check those IDs!!! =>ed murphy =>grad student -- Paul S.
