Subject:	SCOUG-Help: SCSI help needed

Content Type: text/plain

Most SCSI problems are cable or termination -related.
Especially if it was running acceptably before.

Try one device at a time if you have the time and patience.
SCSI bus signal integrity deteriorates the more devices
you have on the bus.

Try to maintain the specified device-to-device spacing and
keep the bus as short as possible. You can get away with
a lot on a short bus. I might even _consider_ cutting off
an end connector and moving everything back by one,
to shorten the cable length.

Still, flaky cabling, connectors or termination is, far and away,
the most prevalent cause of SCSI problems.
