If you share your MiniSCSI Plus adapter among
several systems or carry it for use on other sys-
tems, do not use the /M1 switch unless you are
absolutely sure that the other systems are com-
patible. Changes may take place to the system
configuration in your absence. It is better to run a
little slower than to take a chance on corrupting
your data.
Additional /M Switch Options
Switch settings /M2 and /M3 correspond to /M0 and
/M1 but force the adapter to operate in undirectional
mode. A few computers (such as the NEC Prospeed
SX/20) are incorrectly seen by the MiniSCSI Plus as
being equipped with a bidirectional parallel port,
instead of the actual unidirectional configuration.
This situation can cause data corruption, but using
/M2 (instead of /M0) or /M3 (instead of /M1) forces the
MiniSCSI Plus to use unidirectional mode and
should fix the problem.

computer does not expect to boot from a
device connected to the parallel port. There-

must be loaded during the boot process from
another disk.
Make sure all cables are properly connected.
Make sure all SCSI devices have unique SCSI IDs.
Make sure the SCSI bus is correctly terminated.
