term power is present: there's a jumper inside that has to moved
to make it happen (it's a documented misfeature on this unit).
Bear in mind this scanner does work with MacOS.

I guess I'm confused here: what other devices are there? I see the
possibilities of devices (on units 1-7) but nothing identified. is
it a problem that we have these device 70 units being listed?
On the internal bus, I don't see that on each target, but then I
also don't see an additional hard drive or the CD drive.
