- Aha! I was still running on an old version of the HDInstTools - which
- didn't show the value that control setting. I've grabbed the latest

- Alas, though, they do. I have tried removing the tape drive, removing
- the CD-ROM, and changing cable used for the internal SCSI bus. I still
- get lock ups. I've measured the quiescent voltages on the pins and
- they are around the right value (3/5 of full volts, I think) so the
- termination resistors are presumably in correctly. The only time that
- I don't get lock ups is when I have just a hard drive.
-
- Any ideas on what it could be ?
-
- Thanks,
- Richard
