I think I've got you beat - 

I recently picked up a couple of SCSI CD-ROM drives.  They are unterminated
(nor unterminable).  When a terminator is applied to the end of the SCSI
chain, and they are probed by a 1542, produce an ID string of
<005><005>...  

When properly terminated and used with a 1522, they work adequately.

I have a feeling a simple quirk setting isn't going to work for these
babies.  Anyone SCSI aware enough to be able to tell me what needs to be
done to get the bad boys to work reliably with a 1542?  Is there any way
to convince the 1542 to 'just do the right thing'?
