Pascal:

As much as I like my Macs, they are sometimes a pain in the neck when
trying to use multiple SCSI devices on them.

I have a Leafscan, an Epson flatbed scanner, a Kodak CD-ROM writer and a
Kodak/Nikon DCS-460 digital camera on an old Mac 9500... my "scanner"
Mac.

I have had to put a different SCSI card into the 9500 for each of these
devices except for the camera.

Why? I don't know. But except for the camera, they are not recognized by
Apple System Profiler when they are all on the same chain.

I use the 9500 just for scanning and then do my Photoshop work on them
in a G3 as the scans show up on the G3.

Have you tried using only the LS-2000 without anything else attached to
the SCSI chain? That is, with the Iomega unit completely disconnected,
(not just shut off) and with the LS-2000 properly terminated?
