Roy, No idea where it is on a Rev 6 motherboard. I'd suspect it's still back by the RGB port like it is on the Rev 4 motherboards. It's an 8362, or at least that's what my old Denise was (in particular Rev 8…so 8362R8). It should have the MOS logo on it. The terminators go on the LAST drive on the bus…so under your proposed setup, you'd end up with NO terminators on the 105, and terminators on the 40. Yes, you'll have to change the SCSI ID on one of the drives, I'd change it on the 40 Meg….it doesn't matter what order devices sit on the bus relative to what SCSI ID they have. I don't know where the ID jumpers are on the 40, but it's fairly easy to figure out generally. Since it's set at 6, there'll be a set of jumpers that looks like this somewhere near the back of the drive: X == jumper pin | == jumper X X X | | X X X The jumpers will probably be labeled "a0", "a1", "a2", or "d0", "d1" , "d2" or some such. They may be sitting by themselves, or they may be in a string with other jumpers, but it should be obvious from their labels that those three are related. Just move the jumper next to the open pins onto those pins so that it ends up looking like this: X X X | | X X X That'll set it to ID 5. Don
