. If you aren't using an internal drive on an original Mac LC,
does the internal port need to be terminated? I had assumed termination on
the computer side of things was automatic since there are no jumpers (that I
know of) or terminating resistors to take off.
Thanks,
Wesley
Right...but many newer (I would guess starting around that era) SCSI
controllers, at least in the PC world, have automatic termination on the
controller itself. The LC would seem to be the same in that you don't have
to make any changes to termination on the machine when you connect an
external
on the
controller for an LC?
Thanks,

Most 68k Macs have the very simple NCR5380 SCSI controller, which most
assuredly does not have automatic termination. The LC certainly doesn't
have anything better than that.
