- Ah, the wonderful mystery of the SCSI terminating resistors! It
- seems like every SCSI adaptor handles them differently. GVP's controllers
- definitely have some quirks. Try taking the terminating resistors off and
- rebooting. I know some people with GVP Series II's for whom this has worked.
-
- Also, try giving GVP's BBS a call at 215-337-5815. The sysop is
- one of GVP's techies, and he has been very helpful to me in the past.
