Did tyr booting w/o extentions but get the same "bus error".
There are some extra settings on the HD i am unsure off.
for example:
A set of jumpers for terminaton power.
TP TP
Off Off-No terminator power is connected to drive terminators
or SCSI bus I/O pin 26.
On Off-Drive supplies its own terminator power only. Jumper
on this position is factory default for "N" models only.
Off On-Drive supplies power to I/O pin 26 of SCSI bus;
none to internal terminators. When drives have
differential I/O circuits, a jumper on the right TP
position may be needed to power external terminators
On On-Drive supplies terminator power to itself (internal
connection) and to I/O pin 26 of SCSI bus. This is
a legal jumper setting.
