Hi Barry, Here's my initial take on your situation. Usually termination is made on each internal scsi drive individually using jumper pins and not the cable, so that shouldn't be the problem. If you have no other scsi devices running, simply removing the cable should resolve any termination issues anyhow.
Termination on ide drives isn't generally an issue but Master / Slave is. You can only have one Master and one Slave per cable. The Master is the drive at the end of the Cable and Slave in the middle. If only one ide device on each cable, set it to Master at the end of the cable. Occasionally some drives desire to be set to CS, but first trying Master/Slave is best. My guess as to why you can't yet boot to your new ide drive may also be that it has not yet been selected as Start Up Device. I am assuming you have installed System Software on it while you had the other scsi drive installed? If so, did you also remember to "Bless the System"? If not, while booted from your original scsi drive, or from a bootable cd, drag your new 'System' from the System Folder to the Desktop, let it go, select it again and drag back to the same System Folder. After you have performed this procedure, you should then select the new drive as the StartUp Device. You may also want to zap the pram as the cache may be remembering your old drive instructions. (Command Option P & R) Of course if you do this, you may again have to select the drive as startup device along with reset your memory and clock). Then shut down where you should then be able to remove the scsi cable and device. Then reboot. That's my first guess at it anyhow. See how it goes.
