Term (terminator) power  and terminator are two different things.  If the device does not have a terminator jumper, then it must be terminated externally.  (It shouldn't hurt to have term power on but it might not be necessary.)  Provided your SCSI chain is setup correctly (ie. terminated) you should only have to set the SCSI ID on the device.

@Mick

Parity is just an extra bit that is sent as a sort of checksum to ensure the integrity of transfered data.  If in doubt, turn parity off.

More information needed:

What jumpers do you have set?  You should only need the ID set (Take off all the jumpers to have it set to 0, or set it to 3 as Mad said above by closing the ID1 and ID2 jumpers)

What is your cabling configuration?  Should be something like Squirrel (cable) -> CD-ROM -> Terminator

Do you have squirrelscsi.device in DEVS:  (if so, what version?)

Post Mad's CD0: here for us to critique.
