So these older powerbooks not only require the device to provide termination power, but the controller itself isn't terminated? The latter seems strange to me, for normal use of peripherals (non-SCSI disk mode). The SCSI disk mode section of my pb100 manual shows that you need extra terminators, but not for regular use. If one can draw a comparison between the 100 and the 500 series for this... I'll admit I've not downloaded the 540c manual yet. Brian -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
