	I have only the internal SCSI HD, a *huge* quantum Maverick 
540S.  Since it has its resistor packs, it should be terminated; I 
hope that is what the machine expects.  About the external connector, 
must it also be terminated?

>overheat,

	Will check that once I put the parts back in the machine and 
let it loose for a while.  What kind of temperatures should I expect 
and where?

	Fan seems to be working happily

	Cleaned!

>bad RAM,

	I do believe (fingers crossed) it is good.  I may try my old 
ram and see if there is a difference though.
