< Both ends of the system need to be terminated > Agreed. Perhaps I didn't state it too well but my post referred to the situation with BOTH internal and external drives connected (in which case the controller should be unterminated). < I don't remember being able to remove the 040 card termination > Possibly true, I think only the later '040 cards had sockets, once GVP realized they'd screwe up <g> < although I have run several systems like this with no failures _ever_. > You're just plain lucky then <vbg> In my experience the two most common problems are incorrect termination (not helped in GVP's case by a lousy manual) and using unscreened cables to connect external drives. Good luck. Steve Brightman Daring to be different – Amiga on the Internet – Lotus on the Interstate
