Yeah...we tried it out in my roomie's system WITHOUT the terminating resistor 
packs...worked like a charm, so I know I've got a termination problem on this 
drive. *sigh* I guess I'm gonna have to get another SCSI device that can be 
terminated (my SCSI hard drive can't be terminated) and put it in past the 
tape drive..or just buy the darn resistor packs direct from Exabyte...Or I 
might even just see about an external case and run it that way...that oughta 
be easy enough to terminate. :)

*shrug* Yeah...any idea where I can find an in-line terminator??? That way I 
can just stick it on at the end of the SCSI cable. BTW, I AM running this 
internal... :)
