In the sense of the Chinese curse, of course. Does this mean that "Internal, jumpered termination doesn't work on IBM drives" even if they are the only drive on a given SCSI branch? What about external termination? If you run a computer store, you presumably have tried this -- do they have terminators that plug onto the ends of those nifty internal ribbon cables? rgb Robert G.
