I have my 9500, with the CDR and 2 HD's, but there is no internal SCSI
Terminator. Do I need one or is the internal HD have it's own termination?
My PC at work (29160 SCSI card, 160 MB/Sec SCSI ROCKS!!!!!) will tell me if
the termination is incorrect at boot up. It will usually still work, but it
also tells me about it.
Do HD's have internal terminations? I have seen them have terminator power,
but that always meant to me it applied power to the line to turn on the
active terminator if one is present.
I am wondering if the speed of my SCSI (3 MB/Sec on Fast SCSI) being so slow
is the lack of a terminator on the line. The factory FastSCSI drive and the
Ultra SCSI drive have close to the same speed, even on a 40MB/Sec SCSI card.
I have in order from the MB to the end of the internal chain,
CDRom (Phillips 12X)
Segate 4GB Ultra SC SCSI drive
Factory installed 1GB 9500 drive
There is no terminator at the end of the line, and none was ever there.
Thanks!
