Hardware Installation

By itself, your PlexWriter 4/12 is incapable of communicating with your computer.
You must use a hardware link that enables your drive to ‘‘talk’’ with the rest of your
computer. PlexWriter 4/12 uses a SCSI interface as its link.

Plextor strongly recommends the use of a high-performance bus-mastering SCSI
interface board (ISA or PCI). You probably purchased a Plextor kit with such a board
included. If you purchased your PlexWriter 4/12 without a SCSI interface board and
want to connect it to a non-bus-mastering interface board (PIO), we strongly recom-
mend you do not connect any other SCSI peripherals to the same board. Connecting
the PlexWriter 4/12 to a parallel-to-SCSI or to the SCSI interface on a soundboard is

not 

recommended.
