SCSI Bus Precautions

You must use caution when connecting LVD or HVD interfaces. Equipment
damage or bus-disabling situations may arise if the two types of interfaces are
intermixed.
CAUTION:
Potential equipment damage: The single-ended, LVD, and HVD SCSI
alternatives are not compatible and cannot be mixed on the same SCSI
bus.
