If they were from macs they will probably all be terminated and id 0
(no id jumpers) as default - the termination jumper will probably be on
the underside of the drive and should be easily identified with the manuf
specs - the id jumpers may be on the front or back of the drive. There
may also be a jumper setting for spinning up the drive which you should
check the specs for - do they all spin up? If the manuf specs show
reserved pins these should be covered with a multiple jumper.
Most scsi drives will work with windows, mac or Unix but some OEM
drives for Compaq and other big PC outfits will not work at all - these
drives are branded with a PC outfit badge and Part No.
