The SCSI Zip drives I use have a switch on the back that turns on/off
termination power. I had a Zip drive connected to my IIgs for the sole
purpose of providing termination power for quite a while. Got real annoying
real quick if I didn't have a disk in the drive. GS/OS always came up twice
telling me it couldn't read the disk that wasn't there.
