Just be aware you're playing with fire, and may have just been lucky so far. Also, if a powered-down SCSI device IS loading the bus excessively, as most powered down SCSI devices will, you are overloading the bus drivers on all other SCSI devices, including the NeXT, and while it may continue to work just fine, you are treading on pre-mature failure of the driver chips. I may not be a NeXT/Unix guru (yet :-) ), but I DO know what I'm talking about here. >-- >Let no one tell me that silence gives consent, | Dave Olson >because whoever is silent dissents. | Silicon Graphics, Inc. > Maria Isabel Barreno | olson@sgi.com > Jim De Arras
