Well, In my experience with termination, things are not always so simple.
You are right, the terminators -should- be on the end of the cable, but it
often happens that things will work right without everything exactly where
it -should- be. Anyway, I took the 2091 apart and removed the terminators
from the Quantum and put them on the Conner, and tried again. same result.
I have also tried swapping the Cp340 with another one, no change. I have
since learned that there -might- be a problem with my 2091, but I don't
know for sure yet. I have also discovered that it almost works if I boot
from a vanilla 1.3 Workbench disk. I copied 4 or 5 Megs of stuff before it
locked up.

Perhaps the reason the modern liberal so disdains the 2nd amendment, and so
loves the 1st, is that the 2nd protects our right to take action in defense
of liberty, while the 1st protects our right to talk about it.
