I'm still a bit confused by this claim that active terminating drives don't need special termination on the IIfx. The dead IIfx hard disk is the only one that when connected up to the SCSI bus (with no power cable connected) gives me the SuperMac logo on-screen. Why can't the other drives do this?
I connected up the IIfx's floppy to the LC III last night to eject the 6.0.8L disk that was stuck in it. It actually tried to boot it (but stopped because of the system version). So I popped in a 7.5 Network Access Disk and it booted right to the desktop. Yet on the IIfx it doesn't even look for a disk. Could I maybe have bad RAM or a bad slot? It's going to be a little tricky to test as I can't put this RAM into anything else. I'll just have to go through it stick-by-stick and slot-by-slot.
