Got a HD (Maxtor MXT 540S) for my SE/30 but it won't boot as internal drive. Curiously, if I put it into an external SCSI case w/ active termination, it boots. So, the problem appears to do with termination. I managed to find some info (in german) about jumper settings. But its TP (TERMPWR) jumper (highlighted blue circle) on/off has no effect. Later, I realised this HD (taken from an IBM PowerPC) has 2 resistors Rt (highlighted in red) missing in my PCB.
Question: does it mean that there is no way I can use it as an internal drive for SE/30 or other 68K Mac in general?
