Slow SCSI Extension
Slow SCSI Extension is an INIT for PowerBook 5300 series computers
that
addresses a potential conflict with slow SCSI devices such as 1x CD-
ROM drives
(like the Apple CD150), Zip drives, and PowerBooks in SCSI disk mode.
Not all
PowerBooks will experience the problem and a PowerBook that does may
not
experience the problem all the time (even with different units of the
same make
and model).
Important: You should only install this extension if you are
experiencing
constant freezes or crashes when transfering files with a particular
slow SCSI
device. Installing this extension will impact performance with ALL
SCSI devices
by 10 to 50 percent, so only install it if it is absolutely needed!
You can use
the Extensions Manager to disable Slow SCSI Extension when it is not
needed.
To install Slow SCSI Extension, put it in the Extensions folder and
restart.
