- The silk screen may be wrong as well. The only way to know for sure is

- And back to the original post: with a fair amount of external peripherals
- on the A3000 DB25, you might start running into trouble because of the
- length of the cable or quality of the shielding. Reducing the length of
- the cables used or replacing them with better quality ones might help.
- And if any of the external devices use active termination, shuffle them
- around so that one is the terminated device (active termination is more
- effective that passive).
