Ah, yes, I remember the tech support visit so well.....

The user had taken the PC printer, and plugged it into the back of the
Macintosh, and wanted to know why the Mac would not boot!

The parallel port cable confused the SCSI bus sufficiently that the Mac
couldn't see it's own boot drive.  Lucky it didn't fry anything.
