   Get a non-Apple SCSI card or modify the Apple one to provide
termination power to the drive, as it expects. Alternatively, you can
try and place a HD in the chain that provides the termination power,
but that can be a hit-or-miss proposition.

   Advanced Disk Utils on the GS System 6 System Tools disks is a good
choice if you have an Apple scsi card.

   SCSI and all other disk interface cards must be 'your
card'ed. Accelerators do not need that.
