Everything you need to know is already said. The symptom you described is common when the SCSI fuse is blown. Solution: Having fun with the screwdriver and a soldering iron.

The SCSI fuse part number is NTE15023E. Don't hotswap yer cables!

You may get away with this a few, possibly many times but sooner or later, you will touch the pin 25 to the shield and bam, expensive repair shop visit (or you fix it yourself if you can). Either way, this is not something you want to be doing.

Dont be a ****!! The above is all you needed to say. The rest of that other shit you could have left out.
