It is quite common for vendors to ``park'' the extra jumpers on the ground side of the connectors. This makes it easy for OEM's such as myself to know what side of the connector pins are the ground side when hooking up external scsi id switches. It also saves us from digging in the parts drawers for spare jumpers ;-). The pins are not so much ``non-functional'', it just doesn't do anything when you hook 2 ground pins togeather :-) -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
