Hi Bill, Last night I did my first ever scan on this new (used) SCSI Microtek ScanMaker X6 and didn't remember about termination till I had shut it down. Everything worked and is fine and the scanner is the only external SCSI device on my 9500. I set the ID to 5 via a small dial on the back On the rear panel: SCSI Port 1 ___ SCSI Port 2 ____ and a port that accepts an apple monitor plug (what's up with that?) Should I put a terminator on SCSI Port #2 ? Is termination perhaps "built-in"? Thanks, Terry -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
