one (see page 17). If your computer is a PC-compatible with a
SCSI adapter, but the adapter is connected to a hard drive or
CD-ROM drive, installing a second adapter is recommended.
Set the scanner SCSI address
Each device connected to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique
address from 0-6. To assure a unique address for the scanner,
determine the addresses of any other SCSI devices.
Power Mac or Power PC Windows 95, 98 or NT
