might cause a drive load failure. This failure will show as a
yellow exclamation point beside the USB2Xchange adapter in

Connecting to Your SCSI Devices

You can use the USB2Xchange adapter to connect your computer to
one SCSI device, or up to seven SCSI devices. (In Windows 2000
and Windows XP, you can connect a maximum of four SCSI
devices to the USB2Xchange adapter.)
Ensure that you have the proper connector to attach the
USB2Xchange to the first SCSI device, and that you have a high-
quality SCSI cable for each additional SCSI device being connected.
Note: It is important to use only high-quality cables to ensure
that data is written and read correctly.
