Doesn't seem to have been a lead problem, /perhaps/ just
Win95s drivers or driver load order/config or "PnP" <sigh>
- PD TRs 500 MB <-> any other h/d all through the night ;)
& from the Tosh 3501 as well this morning. Seems happy now.

I've been sent the following info:
FPT (Forced Perfect Terminator) are above Active, above Passive.

- Active Terminator alone (50-micro-D) #1522A 19.95 ex
(50-IDC) #1544A
- FP Terminator & SCSI Sniffer (50-micro-D) #1075 39.96 ex

he he ;) See the above note re FPT & SCSI sniffers. May be interesting.
Spectrum analyser freaks will love them, purists may not however.
