The display shows all drives connected to the SCSI bus. Each character
position on the lower display represents one possible SCSI ID. ID 0 is the
leftmost character; ID 7 is the rightmost character. If a drive is detected,
its ID will be displayed in the relevant position. The currently active drive
is shown as a flashing character. The initiator ID is represented by the
character ‘I’. Normally the initiator has an ID of 7; in this case the
character ‘I’ will appear in the rightmost character of the lower display.
