Hi,

I have a problem with a SCSI termination issue :

2 drives, Seagate 36GB 10krpm's, attached to an Adaptec 2940U2W
card. The drives claim to require external termination :

   http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/iguides/scsi/100141983a.pdf

and the system gives SCSI parity errors and locks up when trying
to format/install Redhat 7.3.

I can't find a 68-pin SCSI terminator anywhere in Dublin, and I
just want to make certain that this is in fact what is required
and that there's no way of forcing the drives/card to terminate
correctly on their own.

Assistance urgently required ;-)

Regards,

Vin
