Doesn't seem to have been a lead problem, /perhaps/ just 
Win95s drivers or driver load order/config or "PnP" <sigh>

  & 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.

Firmware would be irritating. The NCR BIOS seems to be an Eprom
rather than EEPROM (sticker over a window) so I can't Flash u/g

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