Fred, I'm pretty sure you commited one of the serious SCSI sins: 
hot-plugging a device not designed for hot-plugging.

IIRC the SCSI port of the 2400c can basically kill the powerbook if 
you hot plug a device into it. I'd be willing to bet you fried your 
I/O board.

A SCSI device chain requires all devices to be powered off while 
devices are added to the bus. The exception is specific hot-swappable 
items, but they usually have a hot-plug subsystem that is independant 
of the main SCSI bus that connects them to the host computer.

regards,
