..and the Term Power source needs to agree.

If the card is supplying it, the device need to be set for "Get Term
Power from Bus"

If it's got a dead term fuse on it, none of this is going to work.

You might have a drive case that supplies term power - thats fine too.

My overall advice is to yank all terminators on drives, disable all
termination options on drive.
(Bus supplies term power and termination)
Use an external terminator and have the RAMFast supply the power (put
the jumper near the ribbon connector on)

Don't use a black terminator, they're generally for the SCSI bus on
the Mac IIfx.
