Sounds like an active terminator, which should
work better than the "Special Black" IIfx one.
Termination power must be provided to the bus,
either by the host adaptor (Mac) or one of the
drives to use an active terminator. Its generally
not a good idea to have more than two devices
providing termination power to the bus. Set one
device to provide power to the bus and the rest to
provide termination power only to themselves or
disable it on them.
