Hmmm - I came accross the drive second hand and it did not have a special SCSI cable with it. While the manual does not show a special cable it is kind of implied, isn't it?
This cable seems to have a terminator at the end of the cable itself. However, with the drive "in the middle" of a SCSI chain not needing termination I guess I can just add it in and leave the termination on my CD drive. I'll give it a try and see what happens ! Thanks .
