I believe that is the : one that causes the Apple SCSI card (I'm not sure if it is all SCSI : cards or just the high speed one) to delay for a while after power on. Quote from HS SCSI card owner's guide: If you plan to use only a LaserWriter IIsc or an Apple Scanner with your computer, you must reset the computer's SCSI ID number to 2. This adds a 3-second delay in the computer's start up process-time these devices need to complete their own startup process.
