No, there are usually two jumpers on the drive relating to TERMPWR. One is "TERMPWR to drive", which means it will power it's own internal termination. Since you are not using the drive's internal termination, this should be off. The other is "TERMPWR to bus", which means the drive will provide TERMPWR to the *entire* SCSI chain. Normally you don't have to worry about this, the scsi controller is usually set up to do it. But in this case I have found that the IIci's onboard controller isn't consistent enough to trust it powering the "TERMPWR to bus". _________________________________________________________________ Surf the Web without missing calls!�Get MSN Broadband. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/freeactivation.asp -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
