Well, I guess the type of terminator doesn't make a difference though frankly I'm surprised since they have different resistance values...
I'm off to rinse and repeat with a non-Apple drive. I'll use the hacked (by Apple) HD Setup from AUX that allows partitioning non- Apple drives.
Does anyone know the maximum size disk partition allowed for a Plus running System 6.0.5? I've only got a 4 gb Seagate to experiment with and I want to make sure I don't exceed the limit. Maybe I should just put a couple of 100 mb partitions on just for a test.

See the only one that works on mine is Apple ROM fitted, an IBM.
The termination resistor pack issue I think is pertinent. The drives I've tried before either didn't have the packs (they're onboard the drive with the TE jumper) or had two resistor packs. There is a common line in each pack, and there are different resistance values between the two and three pack terminators, so this may be significant.
The 160MB drive I have that works has 2 10-leg resistor pack on it. I doubt how the bus is terminated is the issue.
