This may be good practical advice. But I have been supposing you can terminate anything. As long as it is just one thing (apart from the Mac itself). And that is what I have done. In fact my CDs were terminated in a couple of 7300s (meaning that no other HDs were or should be) > If you reassign the disk to 4, 5 or 6, then the CD at 3 needs to be > terminated, and the disk un-terminated Don't follow this?
