A drive can be terminated even if it doesn't provide term power. Do nooe
of the jumpers relate to termination?

Your SCSI chain is only terminated at one end, you cannot expect it to
work correctly. You also may not have any term power, the p5 CSPPC
didn't have it but I'm told that the DCE ones do.
You *must* terminate the SCSI chain at or after the hard drive to have
any chance of it working correctly.
