We lost the black terminator which came with the IIfx. The techies at the university microcomputer shop say that it's only needed when the internal drive is removed, so for adding an external drive I can just use a regular grey terminator. A salesman at a local retail place tells me I must buy another black terminator before adding an external drive. Who is correct? Thanks Michael Zajac mzajac@ccu.umanitoba.ca

You *need* the black SCSI terminator for the IIfx, and you only need it if you attach any additional SCSI devices that you attach to your IIfx. This SCSI terminator *must* be attached to the last SCSI device on the chain. Remember to remove *any* internal SCSI terminators! -- Pat ---------------------------------------> hoepfner@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov
