'kay, ATA/IDE controller cards come in variety of speeds (i.e., 66, 133, etc.). 133 is "fastest." But in our machines, with SCSI bus issues and such, does it really matter what speed ATA controller and ATA drive you install? Is 133 worth it, or a pitiful and wasted folly? -- Chuck -- Power Com

The internal and external scsi bus are distinct separate buses. You will need termination for both. Both end of each scsi bus must be terminated. The internal scsi bus is already terminated on one end (on the computer) so the last device (physically) on the bus must have termination (and probably a

I doubt it; it depends on the location in the chain. If you need one, terminators are relatively inexpensive, especially at you local computer surplus store ; ) Hans Woesthoff San Diego CA -Original Message- From: Jack Russell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 1
