Yeah, they're the termination packs.  They're socketted on the Fastlane Z3, so they can easily be removed when needed, and then easily be lost, later.

No big deal, though.  As stated above, just make sure both ends of the SCSI chain are properly terminated, with the Fastlane in the middle.  Problem solved.  :-)

Ask someone who owns a Fastlane which still has the resistorpacks what Ohm value it should be


I don't know.  Mine were lost before I bought my card, too.

I just used the proper termination on the SCSI chain, and it worked fine, up until I bought my CyberStorm/SCSI.  (At which point I sold the card onward, and told the next owner how to properly configure/terminate it.)  :-)  

Just keep in mind that even though the card has two SCSI connectors, they are one logical chain that the card is in the middle of.

For example, my SCSI chain was...

terminated HD -->
non-terminated HD -->
FastLane Internal Header
FastLane External Header -->
non-terminated SCSI scanner -->
terminated CD ROM

Now, if I unplugged my SCSI scanner and CD ROM, I'd have to plug in an external 50-pin Centronics terminator, so that both ends would still be properly terminated.
