Apple HD20 SC question
Posted by: napabar on 2019-11-17 20:40:17
Can the Apple HD20 SC be set to a SCSI ID of 0?

The manual talks about SCSI devices being able to be set from 0-6....without specifically saying what the HD20 SC's range is.

I'm assuming it can be set to 0 because in 1986 when it came out, the Mac Plus didn't have an internal SCSI drive that would already be using that number.  Likewise for the Apple II computers.

I don't see why not. Every external SCSI HD I've ever seen has the capability to be 0.

Well, I was trying to decipher the German manual for Apple's 600e CD-ROM drive, and it looks like that one only goes 1-6.

If you have a PDF of it or a link to the PDF, I can help you translate it.

The Gentleman on eBay selling one confirmed the 600e goes from 0-6.  Maybe the manual was only recommending 1-6.

Mine has 0-7 setting.

Correct.  He said 0-7.  My bad.
