>>"I have never before seen a recommendation that the fastest device in the SCSI chain should be last. "

This is true of any daisy chained connection. The higher bw device produces higher frequency components which sum from reflections back and forth on the transmission line and are minimized if terminated at the end of the chain.<<

Rll -

Yes, that makes sense, theoretically. On the other hand, if the chain is properly terminated, signals should be received in only one direction by any device in the chain, so reflections aren't an issue.

As Bernhard pointed out, SCSI sometimes seems to be more of a black art than a technology.
