I hadn't thought of that (makes mental note to kick himself later). I'm getting quite used to taking the thing apart now. The end drive has termination on, the middle one has it off, and I don't see any jumpers on the SCSI board to set the termination state. I guess I have to assume the board's terminated properly, so that would imply that the terminations are correct. The drives also have a "termination power" jumper, which is off on both drives. The manufacturer says that one of them should probably be on, so I'll try that tonight. If I can find one of those [EMAIL PROTECTED]&^* microscopic jumpers, that is. One other thing I will try is to remove the SCSI board altogether. I have an old 1G SCSI drive which should work with the other SCSI bus; it's too small to do anything useful, but I should be able to do a minimal install from floppy and see if I get the lockups. If I do, then it's not the SCSI board and bus.
