I have got a BERT interface, linked to two harddisks like this:
BERT - HD2 - HD1
HD1 is always online (produces the less sound and is the most reliable).
The second HD is used for backups only, so it's offline most of the time
(awful lot of noise and I have experienced quite some breakdowns with it,
although my former MK-interface might have been the cause of that).
I don't know the ID/terminator-settings, for if I change the ID-settings it
doesn't work at all so I keep them in their standard.
However, my previous config was:
MK (precessor of BERT) - HD2
If the interface needed a terminator on HD2, then my current configuration
could not possible work, for then BERT should assume HD1 not available for
HD2 has got a terminator.
So I have SCSI'd for quite some time without terminator, I guess.
An idea is cummin' up; might this non-availability of a terminator have
caused those errors which sometimes occurred and at last the breakdown of my
MK-interface???
