SCSI Mac hard drives need to be non-parity. But termination is

Why, if a drive comes from one mac as a boot disk and is inserted into
another mac as a boot disk would you even consider jumpers and
termination? Same setup but the 7300's drive was swapped into a Quadra
running 7.1. works well thank you.
The 7300 was shipped with 7.5 on a 2 gig drive, so I'm guessing thats
all good.
You zero the drive to remove the mac driver partition and any other
rubbush going up to OS8 added then your install of 7.5 will boot,
simple enough for this list I hope.
The 80 MB had termination enabled, the 2 GB didn't in my 7300. The 80
MB had parity enabled, but there is no option on the 2 GB.
I have zeroed the drive, and installed 7.5.3, and gotten the exact same
error, so no dice.
Don't know if I'll continue playing with it, but I do appreciate
everyone's input. And by the way, I have absolutely zero troubles with
the 80 MB. So it can't be a seating problem.
