how would i check termination?

I removed the SCSI CDROM out of my enclosure, and replaced it with an old 80mb prodrive set as ID2

Installed system 7.5.3 onto that HDD and the system works peachy. But soon as you connect back up the internal hard drive to the chain with the external drive on and running, it wont boot. freezes at gray screen. Same thing if i have the external drive completely unplugged. just the powerbook. it freezes.

If i leave the power off to the external HDD leaving it hooked up, the computer will "unfreeze" even with the internal HDD connected. Thats how I am able to get the system to boot with the internal drive connected. I power up the machine until it freezes, cut the power off via the switch on the external HDD. then the computer will "unfreeze" and blink the ?

Turn the power back on to external drive, and the system will boot. SCSIprobe 4.3 once booted, WILL SEE the internal drive as ID0 WDS-280. soon as you hit mount, youll hear the internal HDD click a couple times and boom freezes. The computer will remain frozen WITH mouse movement not frozen. If i recycle the power on the external HDD, it will "unfreeze" and computer will tick right along just fine.
