- I didn't write the above. I did post a suggestion to the problem. You should
- consider your scsi chain as one long line. If there are external devices and
- internal devices, with the scsi driving device in the middle (such as on your
- GVP '040, then the scsi device on the '040 must have its termination removed.
- The end external device and the end internal device (that is, the device farthest
- from the '040 scsi operator, must be terminated.
