Good point, I was just thinking about termination.
I learned that some older PowerBooks need a unique series of terminators.
After you plug the PowerBook SCSI cable into the Dock you then need to add a
pass-through terminator between that cable and the drive. Then you need to
have termination at the end of that chain, Whether that's a terminator on
the second connector of that drive or, if you add more drives to the chain,
adding a terminator to the end of the chain.
Either way, playing the SCSI termination dance can really keep you hopping.
