Autoterminated? I didn't think any LVD drives (especially SCA ones) were
capable of providing any termination. The AstorII chassis SCSI backplane
should be providing termination though. I've heard some second hand
reports of "trouble" with early revisions of the AstorII's SCSI backplane,
but haven't seen any myself. We only have one AstorII and it's new enough
that when I upgraded the BIOS & related things, the backplane was already
up to date.
