- With SCSI bus, you should have only one set of termination resistors, and they
- should be on the last drive on the bus (in your case the external MAXTOR).

- The only way to be sure is to get in touch with MAXTOR (or a distributer) and
- ask them for a manual. I suggest you don't flick too many dip switches 'cos
- sometimes drives have test settings which are only used by the manufacturers.
- Switch at your own risk !! :-)
