My Mac Plus simply refuses to boot off of my Newbury 3380 drive.  As I
understand it, the Mac Plus does not provide power on the SCSI bus and if
a drive is depending on SCSI bus power for termination, it will not be
recognized?!!  The 3380 has a jumper that determines if the drive should
get its termination power from the SCSI bus or from the drive itself.  I 
tried it in either position but still the Plus refused to boot from it.
Does any of you SCSI gurus out there recognize this problem and can suggest
a solution?  

I appreciate your help very much.
