And, just as with getting SCSI to work, always use black candles!
I was on the ANSI SCSI committee back in the day (like 30 years ago) so
I had "special powers" and could get by with dark blue candles and only
having to pluck a live chicken on alternate Tuesdays to get my drives to
work. I still have a bunch of the old 220/330 ohm DIP packs (the blue
ones) to terminate cables if you need any. :-)
I was also incredibly stupid back then, so I mistakenly volunteered and
got stuffed onto the ANSI C committee as well. At least that had the
silliness of PJ Plaugher of Whitesmiths on the committee, too:
Under "Bugs" on the Whitesmiths' C users' guide for "onexit() (their
library's version of what became "atexit()"):
"The type declarations defy description and are still wrong."
And under "Bugs" for "cpystr()" (their version of "strcpy()"):
"Forgetting the terminating null is mildly perilous."
PJ was nothing if not, uhm, "clever". :-p
