I'm not sure of any of the details about this, so don't take my word for
it, but...  As far as I know, any SCSI Mac can do this sort of thing
(don't try it at home kiddies - you might blow up your SCSI port; I have
heard of people on the Classic Macs mailing list playing about like
this, though, with everything from Pluses upwards), but the PowerBooks
have got special software that sorts things out neatly

I *suspect* you've got to set unique ID numbers for everthing on the bus
as you usually would.
