i posted a question related to this and got no answers so I'm reposting it a different way: the hard drive in my 6360 doesnt want to show up onscreen when i boot up. It's in there, I saw it. But in thinking it over, it occurred to me that my brother in law ran this machine with a scsi zip drive attached out the back on the SCSI port, which I am sure is terminated. I haven't attached it yet, and it occurred to me that since the hard drive of the 6360 is an IDE, that perhaps my problem is in the absence of termination when the zip drive isn't attached. obviously the easy test is to attch the zip drive and see if the hard drive shows up afterwards. but supposing it works, and then i decide I don't want to use the ZIp drive? do i need to buy a DB25 terminator to put on the SCSI port on the back of the machine, to keep my hard drive in the loop? and what kind of terminator do i want?
