oAll Apple OneScanners with ROM version 2.02 could have a SCSI ID
recognition problem when connected to a Macintosh Quadra 700, 900, or 950.
The Apple OneScanner is not recognized on the SCSI bus when the scanner is
powered on before the Macintosh Quadra.
 
There is a workaround to this recognition problem:
 
     Note
     ----
     If you are using an Apple OneScanner with a Macintosh Quadra AND are
     running under A/UX, use the instructions for that configuration.
 
Using the Apple OneScanner With a Macintosh Quadra
--------------------------------------------------
1) Power on the Macintosh Quadra, and let the Macintosh Quadra start up to
   the Finder.
 
2) Power on the Apple OneScanner.
 
   The OneScanner has a 12-second (approximately) power-on sequence;
   let this sequence complete before launching Ofoto.  This power-on sequence
   consists of a variety of audible motor calibrations.  The sequence is
   complete when you hear the last sound -- about 12 seconds after
   switching on the power.
 
Remember, if the Macintosh Quadra is shut down or restarted, you need to
turn the OneScanner off and back on when the Macintosh Quadra is at the
Finder again.
 
Using the Apple OneScanner With a Macintosh Quadra Running Under A/UX
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Power on the Apple OneScanner.
 
   The OneScanner has an approximate 12 to 13 second power-on sequence.
   This power-on sequence consists of a variety of audible motor
   calibrations.  The sequence is complete when you hear the last sound --
   about 12 seconds after switching on the power.
 
2) Power on the Macintosh Quadra.
 
3) Start up A/UX, and wait for the Log-in screen.  DO NOT log in.
 
4) Turn off the Apple OneScanner, wait a few seconds, and turn the Apple
   OneScanner back on.
 
5) Log in to A/UX.
 
The Apple OneScanner should be recognized now.  If not, try this process
again.
 
 
Notes
-----
- Apple has tested these workarounds, and they seem to work in most
  instances.  However, Apple makes no guarantee that these workarounds are
  successful 100% of the time.
 
- This Apple OneScanner recognition problem applies only to the Macintosh
  Quadra series.  No other Macintosh models are affected.
 
- The Apple OneScanner ROM version 2.03 corrects the recognition problem,
  and Apple expects Service inventory to be upgraded by July 1992.
 
- After July 1992, Apple OneScanner owners with Macintosh Quadra computers
  who want to upgrade to ROM version 2.03, instead of using the workaround,
  should contact their authorized service providers for a replacement
  board.
 
Terminator Issue
----------------
On the Macintosh Quadra, use the current production gray terminator.
