Earlier this evening, I was able to successfully connect a Sun/3 Mass
Storage Subsystem (basically, a 141 MB ESDI drive in a box with
a SCSI->ESDI interface board) to my PowerBook 100 (yeah, it's sort
of dwarfed by the Sun case -- but it was a good deal).

However, now I'm getting a mysterious bus not terminated error from
SCSI Probe.  I swear I didn't change a thing to cause this.  Since
the error has appeared, I've tried changing several things to
no avail...the drive still won't mount, and SCSI Probe still says
ther's a termination problem.

I browsed through the slim documentation that came with the expansion
unit, and it doesn't mention anything about a special terminator.

Can any of you Sun experts tell me how to terminate this drive in the
SCSI chain, if indeed that is what is needed?  Any other advice is
welcome as well.

Configuration:
  System 6.0.7
  PowerBook 100
  4 MB RAM
  20 MB internal drive
  HDI20 external floppy
