Well a 50 pin terminator is almost impossible to find in this town, even at the surplus computer stores. I've talked to several employees at the store and its pretty much stumped them. I tried removing the termination from the CD rom on ID 3 but all that did was stop the CD rom from mounting. I'm at my wits end with this thing. Any help is greatly appreciated! J.
