- Depends on your motherboard revision, but you may have terminators
- mounted on the 3000 motherboard. If they are socketed, remove them. If
- they are not, it's a difficult call to make.
-
- Just out of idle curiosity, did you try the Syquest without termination?
- It's a very nonstandard way of doing things, but it _might_ work if you
- have no other option. But if you can remove the A3000 internal
- terminators, that is the right way to go.
