This particular drive had no term power jumpers. Just the ID jumpers. I could only term or not by using an external terminator. And, I'm out of other drives, except for IDEs, and 100 to 160 MB SCSIs. Due to lack of funds, I must pass that on to some other lister with more resources. Again, if, say, a Quantum 1080 with Term power is available, I'd go that way just to see if this can work. Otherwise, the Plus still loves the little SCSI drives. Not all is lost. Jeff -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
