     Termination is a resistive load. It needs to be on just the last device
connected to the SCSI chain. If you have termination set ON for several
devices on the chain you may overload the Termination Power source. For some
info on SCSI setups, see the Apple II FAQs dealing with hard drives, CD-ROM,
and Zip Drives: http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/A2FAQs8QUICKFIND.html .
