I have my DPI drive in the middle of my SCSI bus. I removed the termination resisters in less then 2 minutes. It was very easy to do! There are only four screws to take off to get to the resister packs. I like the drive a lot. It is fast, and fairly quite. I also like the INIT that DPI ships with their software that mounts the disk whenever a cartridge is inserted. I think DPI has great tech support too, I've called them a few times, twice because of termination questions and they helped right away, once because of an incompatibility problem (my new IIcx would not run the older formatter) and they sent out a new version right away.
