Yes, all three should be removed. There are different numbers of resistors in
different terminator packages, which will detemine how many are needed by a
given drive.

Have you saved out the 'changed' parameters? If you exit without saving the
parameters that HDToolBox think are changed, it will complain the next time
too. If you add or remove drives, you can end up in this situation.

Good assumption. You're welcome.
