- I have the same problem with a Viper streaming tape unit, I have been told
- that if you remove the SCSI termination power conductor from the cable
- (only at one end) the Amiga will power up when the unit is off.
-
- The Amiga (Mac too) do not expect to find the SCSI units terminated
- internally that is they do not expect to find voltage on the SCSI Ter.
- power pin from the Amiga.
