Have been using the Syquest with a "ci" chained with a "Rodime 140" and a 

"Segate 48" mb HD since March 90.

(SCSI ids used, HiDen drive=0, ci=7, Rodime=5, Segate=4, Syquest=6)

The "ci" and Syquest 44 are TERMINATED.

Terminators are removed from the "Rodime 140" and "Segate 48".



Hooked up a borrowed CD ROM to the Syquest (oh gosh) 28 Nov 90 that was 

TERMINATED. All worked fine. After returning the CD ROM drive I connected 

everything as it was before. 



I had problems booting.  I had to boot from floppy. SCSI probe DA said the 

"ci" was not terminated. 



I removed the "Syquest 44" from the chain.  Rebooted with no problem.

I removed the "Rodime 140" and a "Segate 48" from the chain and then 

hooked up the "Syquest 44" directly to the "ci" and, voila, "Syquest 44" 

works.



I need to get the "Syquest 44" working back in the chain.  Any ideas what 

may have gone wrong?



I called Ehman three times. No return call yet (sob).



Thanks in advance,



Ken.
