There are two sorts of HDI-30 (powerbook) SCSI leads - ones for connecting
peripherals to the powerbook, and onces for connecting the Powerbook in
SCSI disk mode. OK, there are some that have switches you can set too. You
want a SCSI disk mode lead - which is identifiable by having all 30 pins
present in the plug. The peripheral connecting ones have only 29 pins - one
of the corner pins is missing.

The SCSI ID number when in SCSI disk mode is set in the PowerBook Setup
control panel.
