Has your smoothly operating SCSI bus recently started having problems? Perhaps you've just placed an Iomega SCSI Zip drive at the end of your SCSI chain. While an excellent higher-than-floppy capacity storage device, the Zip drive is not an ideal bus terminator--especially on an UltraSCSI subsystem. Rather than placing the Zip drive at the end of your device chain and enabling its termination feature (via a switch on the back), spend the ~$15 and buy an active terminator and attach it to the last device on the bus. They're not hard to find. JDR Microdevices (http://www.jdr.com) has sold me several--you might even be able to find one at your local Radio Shack.

A well-behaved SCSI bus must be built upon solid termination.
