I know that the 1542 is extremely sensitive to that type of thing, but I
don't think it is termination. I have a 7 disk cdrom tower connected to
it and it sees them all fine. I guess what I could do is attempt to load
it with DOS and see what happens. Or maybe hook up a hardrive that I
know is good and see what happens. What happens is the program sees the
card just fine but then complains it can't reset the device. I'll give
exact details when I get to work.
