Hilary, It also depends on whether the controller card you are attaching the tape drive to has an external connector and whether you are going to be using that connector instead of using the daisy-chained ribbon internal connector. On some contollers the external chain requires its own termination and you may need to leave the termination packs on both devices if you are using the external connector. Whether you find termination resistors on the drive also depends on what type of drive it is (SCSI I or SCSI II). On some of the new SCSI II drives there are no removable termination packs. There is instead a jumper (usually called TE) which if set turns on the termination and if removed (again this is usually the case) turns off the termination. If you need more information, please give us some additional information so that we can offer better assistance, i.e. model number of drive, controller card being used, using external connector or internal, etc. Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
