The Apple and Clone machines (9600 etc and S900/J700) that come as all SCSI come from the factory with termination enabled on the SCSI drive. External SCSI the last device in the chain needs termination. The C600/500 comes from the factory with termination on the SCSI CDrom player and no terminations should be used elsewhere on this machine. It took me forever to figure this out. I have an external CDRW which I was trying to share with J700 and C500. One needed Termination and the other not. later Will S
