Power Computing did tend to put the CDROM drives on the ends of their SCSI cables and enable termination on them. So it was probably true for Power Computing machines *as originally shipped from the factory* that all their CDROM drives were terminated. But only because that's how PCC configured their machines as a rule. Remove the Termination Enable jumper from teh CDROM drive, and voila, CDROM drive no longer terminated. Some (all?) of the CDROM models which Apple shipped did not even have a termination enable jumper. They were odd builds. Apple tended to put an actual separate termination block on the internal SCSI cable on their higher end machines. At least they did in the 8100 and 9100. I'm not sure about the x500s as I only ever bought clones. Jeff Walther -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
