Questions:
CDROM - do I need a 2048 bytes/sector one or 512 bytes/sector? (I have both
available, but it just saves me guessing the type!)
512 bytes/sector.
SCSI bus - in order to hang a (terminated, obviously)
CDROM off the external
SCSI connector, do I need to enable/disable termination on the system board
somewhere, and/or enable/disable termination on the internal drive? (I'm not
sure if the internal drive is one end of the SCSI bus, or just a short spur
off the bus)
I think the slab needs external termination. It was many years ago
that I had access to one - but I seem to remember a terminator on the
external SCSI connector even with no external devices.
Memory - Can these things take more than 32MB? Purely
curious - I don't even
know if such a thing as an 8MB 30 pin SIMM exists (this Slab currently has 8 x
4MB modules in it)
Pass.
