I guess the 25-pin terminator might be the path of least resistance, and
it's not like it'd make it hugely more clumsy. I'll look into that,
thanks.
The drive itself is an 18gb drive, model SR318404LC. Nothing especially
fancy about it, though the 10k RPM performance compared to the old 5400
rpm external 2gb drive I was using with it is very nice. I remember
seeing the resistor modules on plain 50-pin drives, but this drive
doesn't have anything like that. I'm not sure LVD drives normally would.
I've only dealt with a couple (the one this adapter used to be attached
to before it died) and it worked fine in a Beige G3 with no additional
work involved. I guess it could be worse, it's already a huge upgrade!

Subject: Re: LVD-adapted drive and SCSI Voodoo question
Hi Scott,
I pulled 210MB SCSI (50-pin) drives from several Sun machines and none
of them worked until I added termination.
I used inline resistor modules and plugged them into the sockets near
to the 50-way connector.
I guess this wont be useful in your case but, as I don't know what your
drive looks like, I can't help you further.
Jonathan, that's a great suggestion. Can anyone suggest a possible
termination device that fits into the DA25 socket, please?
Cheers all,
Keith

It may be that all you need is a terminator plugged directly into the
