Tony;
That's what I like! The eternal optimist!
The 3.5" drives almost universally use the "single inline" style package
for the terminating resistors but it is primarily a matter of when the
drive was designed.
The other format for the resistors is a package that looks like a "run of
the mill" TTL chip. Usually dual inline, 14 pin.
The "package" usually "stands out" to those familiar with IC packages. It
may be a different color or appear to have a different "luster" if the
same color as the IC packages. Additionally it will have a decidedly
different numbering style. Also recognizing a resistor manufacture's logo
can help.
