I have that A1291 SCSI interface and never could get it to work right.  It
does not seem to provide any termination power. Attempts to use it cause
crashes and lochups to the whole system particulary if I try to save
anything bigger than a few K. I've asked around about this but no one seems
to know what the problem is.  I added a Surf squirrel and that works just
fine.  If anyone knows how to fix the problems with the A1291 I'd like to
hear from them
