I got this LVD compatible external terminator that doesn't work. I thought it was supposed to be backwards compatible, at least with wide buses. Anyway, can someone recommend one that works and will also work with scsi3 or above if I later get a Cyberstorm ?

BTW, it is currently working with termination of a CDROm, so I want to avoid having to have the CDRom on to actually operate the machine as the HD access hangs completely if I disconnect the CDRom. With the CD off it won't even boot.

Hi.. the system will hang when the cd is not connected as there is no termination.. You could enable the termination on the hd itself or use an internal active terminator 50 pin scsi2. Or if you have an external port connected to the warpengine then an external active terminator.

I doubt any lvd terminators would work properly.

I don't actually have any scsi devices on my warpengine so i can't confirm, but on my pc server i have an external terminator for the external port for when i don't have a dat or cd etc... connected.

Ok, can someone confirm no lvd terminator works, before I bother getting a new one...

At least a SCSI3 one will work right ?
I know there's some info around the net on this if I lose sometime searching but sometimes compatibility is also device dependent.
For example I couldn't get the LVD Scsi2Ide adaptor I have working on my A4000T's scsi2 bus at all, but it works flawlessly with the WarpEngine (with the setup I described in the 1st post)
