Getting ready to terminate it properly cause the guy i got it from did not have a terminator in there. when i boot work bench i see there is a hdd but cannot access it, so i opened the box to find no terminator, just learning about scsi but i did confirm the system has no termnation. :-D

Just a check, but are you sure the drive doesn't already have termination onboard? Seagate has extensive documentation online for pretty much every model ever produced.

I might also suggest rapidly upgrading from anything in the sub-100MB sizes to a 'known good' (or 'known little-used') drive of somewhat more recent vintage -- a lot of the older disks have seen heavy use, or plenty of knocks from transport, and will begin to show how far past their MTBFs they are just as you start to get things sorted out.
