Of course. The point I was making is that SOME devices, especially scanners, are self terminated. If it doesn't have a pass thru connector, then it HAS to be terminated internally somehow (either it always is, there is a switch to enable, or its automatic). The documentation should state this, if one still has it. --> Russ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
