Emax

i changed the cable to a cable that has 1 more connector than I have devices (in this case, the cable has 3 connectors - 1 end to the board. middle to the device, other end, put on the terminator).

The terminator I used is similar to the following:

Nice catch Ted! Could you please elaborate on how you added the active terminator? I am not familiar with how to add termination on an internal SCSI cable without a device that has this option.

Thanks,
