Hi Mary,
The Tekram comes with an internal 50 pin to external High density 50
pin D-type connector External adaptor .The connection on the SCSI-2 50
pin bus goes like this :
External Terminator(active)>>>HP Scanner >>> Tekram PCI >>> CD-R>>>
CD-ROM>>> ZIP dive>>> Internal terminator(active).
termination on the CD-R, CD-ROM & ZIP are disabled.
The LVD Ultra wide 68- pin bus using Tekram LVD/SE Cable :
Tekram >>> Atlas III >>> LVD terminator.
The SCSI Bios shows all the SCSI ID's and peripheral. and have the ABIT
bios select to boot from "SCSI " as you mentioned and yet it still
boot to IDE 1 hard disk.
