Hi. I'm trying to figure out how to connect a hand held scanner that
uses the SCSI port to the SCSI port on my Mac SE/30. The catch? The
SCSI port is already occupied by my GCC PLP II printer. The PLP II is
internally terminated, making it the last device that can be chained
to the SCSI port (unless I do surgery on the PLP II, which I'm unwilling
to do). I read in MacWorld that the Thunderscan 400 scanner is
externally terminated. Does that mean that I can EASILY remove the
termination on the scanner and hook the PLP II to the scanner port?
Does anyone have the Thunderscan 400 or have experience using it that can
give me the definitive word on whether I can do this? Any help will be
appreciated.
