Has anyone ever successfully used Dove's SCSI upgrade for the 512e with any
CMS hard drive (specifically the SD60)?  I hooked mine up with the terminator
still connected and the drive wouldn't work (Mac worked fine, though).  I called
Dove and they were very helpful -- they told me to clip the terminators.  Well,
that didn't work.  Then they told me to solder a jumper.  I did.  It still
didn't work.  Then they tell me I wasn't supposed to cut the terminator at
all!  So, now it is being exchanged at MacConnection (out of stock, so I now
have to wait 2 *more* weeks).  I tested the drive on a Plus and it works fine,
so it must be the SCSI port.  When I called CMS originally, they said that
Dove's port doesn't work well with their drives.  This was disturbing,
since I never heard about any such problem in any ads or anywhere else.
Has anybody used Dove's SCSI with a CMS drive?  Did I just get a bad SCSI
board?  Can anyone refer me to another upgrade (that will work with my
Dove 2M memory upgrade) in case the next board doesn't work?  Please
respond via e-mail and I will summarize to the net if I get enough 
responses.  Thanks in advance!
