The card termination settings are set in the CTRL-A screen (EZ-SCSI BIOS actually is the proper name for it). The change is that the current driver is less tolerant of "iffy" termination settings. The old driver used to tolerate things such as the SCSI bus only being terminated at one end, while the latest version will blow up if that happens. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Doug Ledford <dledford@dialnet.net> Date: 04-Dec-97 Time: 14:42:37 ----------------------------------
