Does the Archive Viper (2060S) have built-in termination? It's typically been the only other device on the chain, and has worked without an external terminator on three different systems. I installed the drive in a case that I obtained myself, so I know that the case doesn't provide termination. I saw no resistor packs on the drive's logic board. I'm adding a device on the chain, and its documentation mentions that some SCSI devices have internal termination. I need to determine if the new device should be placed at the end, to provide the missing termination (it's switchable), or in the middle with the termination turned off (using the Viper's termination). The only docs I have are for the 2060L (QIC-02 rather than SCSI; we also have PDP-8 stuff around the lab :-), so RTFM won't do. -Jim.
