- It's passive termination. You might try removing the resistor packs
- from the W.E. itself if you are using both internal and external
- SCSI devices (assuming that both ends of the chain are properly
- terminated). On my W.E. (A4000 version) the packs are socketed right
- next to the SCSI header and are a genuine pain in the butt to get to.
- All the SIMMS have to be removed and tweezers are required to pull or
- insert the packs.
