I'm having some weird problems. My CDROM is freezing me and I think it has to do with termination. I seemed to have had to leave my SCSI HD actually connected with the SCSI cable to not freeze (but I disconnect the power). That gets the proper termination going on SCSI ID 0 I think. Then after that I have a CDROM on ID 3, another CDROM on ID4, and then comes the Zip drive which is terminated.

I also see my SATA HDs but it says that's on SCSI Bus 2. The other chain above says SCSI Bus 0.  Here's how I've got it hooked up:

SCSI Bus 0:

(no ID) - SCSI HD, terminated, but with power unplugged
ID3 - CDROM, unterminated
ID4 - CDROM, unterminated
ID5 - Zip, terminated

SCSI Bus 2 (SATA card, automatically fills in IDs)

ID0 - SSD
ID2 - 1TB drive

On the SCSI Bus 0, the ID3 CDROM seems to want to be terminated sometimes. I tried the exact rig as posted above but with the ID3 CDROM terminated as well, but no go.

This is turning into a SCSI Labyrinth!

I'm going to go tinker around some more and see what I can come up with.
