I just read briefly about an internal pass-through SCSI terminator. My rig works 100% when I've got that SCSI HD in there which is obviously terminated, no freezing when loading CDROMs. But no matter what I do when I disconnect it, I freeze.

I'm thinking that the CDROM's termination isn't 'good enough' and that I'll need one of those internal pass-through terminators, or something like that.
