Depending on the drive, it either has a place for terminating resistor packs (generally a row of "holes" near the SCSI connector on the drive circuit board) or hard wired terminator resistors that are "engaged" by placing a jumper on a set of pins on the circuit board. Bottom line: I believe you are right; the drive needs to be terminated and is not. Ken -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
