Terminating Jaz internal drive

[bibilit]

I have been given a pair of internal Jaz drives.

No information found online, is there a way to terminate those drives ?

Found a way to change the SCSI ID, but no way to terminate.

The Jaz self-terminates; I've been using one for years without anadditional terminator and have had no problems. If you still want toterminate it all you need to do is buy a standard 50-pin terminator and connect it to the open connection. Either connection should work, top or bottom, the drive doesn't seemto care where the scsi in is.

Maybe helps?

suggest that if you have only one cable from host card to HD and on to the Jaz drive then make sure the HD is not terminated

Thanks Janez, both for the drives and information.

Well i found this information, but apparently this is for the external drive only (a switch is provided to enable or not termination) more or less the way the Zip works.

But the internal drive has not this ability.

Think i have found what i was looking for.

The internal Jaz should be terminated, in order to do that, the cable should be provided with a termination block.

time to seek for that.

Must have changed between jaz versions. Mine has the little SIP inserts.
