doctorq,

  Brilliant observation on SCSI. An open-ended opinion!

Jim -- the AsimWare CDFS disk is a treasure trove of information. There is a drive list and a card list. This takes a lot of the mistakes out of the selection.

Although other drives "might work", your guess is no better than doctorq's, who is really guessing with "your" money.
I personally knew the AsimWare team up in Canada. Great guys. They took the time and restraint to test these drives and various cards.
As for termination, you'll have to remove the terminator pacs off the hard drive. Then the SCSI CD drive is set to terminated. Be sure the CD drive ID is not the same as the hard drive.
Also, I would not over-look an external SCSI CD drive. With an added SCSI card to the A1200, you could use the CD drive with either system.

PS> Why you didn't buy a 6 or 7 CD changer with your previous purchase is "now" a mystery. I would have installed it to work with the card for you!
Won\'t hide my location.
