Tim: >> IDE/ATA doesn't use termination, SCSI does. Mel: > I don't believe that is true. I believe they both use termination. While from a technical standpoint, there's a standard impedance that loads the line, so it is "terminated". There's nothing the user does to the drive that changes it. So I should have said it doesn't have any user-set termination options. Electrically, it doesn't matter whether the master or slave is at the end of the line. Neither's different in that regard. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
