Check the ID numbers of all SCSI equipment connected to
your computer. Each device must have a unique ID number

hard disk has the number 0). Also check that the chain of
devices is terminated properly. (See the chapter on enhancing
your computer system for information about setting SCSI ID
numbers and checking termination.)
