     Do not know about the HD 20SC-- just a minute-- nope, the HD on our Mac
Plus is an Emac 20 DL. On the other hand, even knowing that a model is/is not
supposed to supply term power would not guarantee that your particular drive
has not been modified.

     If you do not have an Apple HS SCSI card modified to supply term power,
the absence of term voltage could explain the glitcy behavior of your HD setup.
