EVERYTHING about SCSI termination is weird! My advice to anyone who has
SCSI troubles is to get an active terminator. Or two.
I have 7 devices on my external SCSI and 3 on the internal bus, so the
variety of trouble I could theoretically get into is quite large.
Especially as FIVE of the devices are removable storage and one is a
scanner! Active termination has saved me more times than I can remember.

You want weirdness?? Try this - sometimes when I change a device, or device
order on the bus, or change cables, it doesn't work... AT FIRST!  Then,
after it has "got used" to the new arrangement, it starts working!
