I have 3 9500's with 2 SCA drives each in them. They all work
fine, and =

As far as jumpers, stick to just jumpering on the adapter, and

just jumpering those jumpers, you KNOW you need to jumper, like
the ID.

And what do you do if you want it at the end of a chain and
terminated? Not
want this? Use a special terminated ribbon cable? Is yours in the
middle of
a chain?
I have never had any luck terminating an SCA drive, meaning that they
always ended up needing to be in the middle of a chain. Internally I
made sure another drive was at the end of the chain and externally I
kept another device at the end of the chain.
I never had an adaptor that had any termination jumper. Some SCA
drives have had a jumper on the drive itself for termination (perhaps
they all did, I do not recall), but when I tried that I could not get
the drive to work.
Yet I have had several SCA drives over the years and they have always
worked well and been very reliable.
