[Coco] SCSISYS question

[Bob Devries]

Thanks, gentlemen!

Between Gene and George, I now have /H1 working using SCSISYS! I took 
George's suggestion, of connecting all 50 wires between the two drives, 
after I found that *if* I left the termination resistors in on both drives, 
I actually got more progress than with them left out. I installed a piece of 
16-way cable, and VIOLA! it works.

Again, thanks for the help, Gene, and George.
