Hi Daniel,
No, yours is not different from mine.
Mine is the same way but it came with (I think they all came with this
from the factory) a special cable that as a sort of pass-through
connector on it that allows you to plug other devices into it,
therefor allowing it to be anywhere in the SCSI chain.
I have not tried it after the external hard drive because that would
mean dismantling the external hard drive casing, and then unmounting
the drive inside to access the termination jumper on the underside of
the drive. No, I didn't use a standard terminator on the second SCSI
connector on the drive casing because the drive had it's own
terminator jumper on it itself.
I did, however, try disconnecting the external hard drive altogether
so the EN/SC was the only device in the chain and then I activated
it's own termination. The result was the same. Rapidly flashing Link
Integrity light. No network connection.

I would try a simple 10BT hub interposed between the EN/SC and the
Linksys switch. A of new switches have a problem with older 10BaseT
devices. The older devices don't handle the new switch automatic speed
detection circuitry. I keep several old Netgear and 3Com 25 port 10BT
hubs in my switch stack for older Mac, Sgi and Sun equipment. Last week
at a customers site, I had a new Linksys (not my favorite network device
brand for several reasons) router/switch fail to connect with a NeXT
cube and slab that the 3Com, D-Link and Netgear 10/100/1000 switches
handled without a glitch.
Try a different switch or place a cheap 10BT hub between the Linksys
and your Plus.
