Wow, old school SCSI. If memory serves (it's currently cluttered with all things firewire)
It almost sounds like you are bragging :-\ ... Na, I am smiling, see? :-) and I got a clean colgate smile look closer... :-D
if there is only one device on the chain you can *probably* get away with not terminating it.
Thanks for letting me know, I do have a small USB drive about 100MB it's in the shape of a liquid paper pen so I am not THAT far behind! LOL

Hello
I finally installed the new drive and put all my OS X stuff in it thanks so
much for the link to Carbon Copy Cloner, it worked! Anyway my question is
the 68-pin drive has 9.2 then the 50-pin has OS X (I don't mind the speed).
Since I don't have any more jumpers left I didn't terminated it and also the
drive does not have ANY instructions at all I see the pins but don't have a clue
where I'd put the jumper (I could custom build one if I was in a hurry) it only
says to download package 0023, the drive is Seagate Barracuda 9 GB.
The drive works great. The question is, does it really need the
termination? Its ID is 0. Bus 2. This drive is the only one on that Bus. I once read
in a book that a SCSI chain with no termination could cause a lot of
errors/problems, it is true? If I continue using it like this will I get a surprise
later on? I thought that only applied to certain configurations (older
perhaps?), my computer is a G3 333. How about OS X does it have those restrictions as
well?
Thanks Lil
