Scsi Termination On A 4000T
If i didn't want to use the scsi controller anymore and just wanted to use the ide controller instead,would i have to use a terminator on it or not ?
The reason that i am asking this is because,once i disconnect the scsi cable from the scsi controller and just rely on the ide,the floppy drive doesn't seem to respond unless i plug the scsi devices back in ? |

Short answer: Yes, you need.
Long one: the SCSI controller will poll for devices (and nothing respond to it), adding a very long time to boot (10 minutes?). Ought of curiosity: why not use the SCSI? It is much more fast than IDE and don't steal computational power from the main CPU. |

Scsi Termination On A 4000T
Another quick and dirty solution is to use A4KD Kickstart ROMs in the A4000T. The machine boots up fast, SCSI is disabled, and workbench.library is in ROM again

There is an internal header for the scsi and an external port as well.
Would i need to put a terminator on both of these ? |

The small PCB where the serial port, parallel and video port are connected also contains a 50pin connector. This is actually a terminator for plugging the end of the SCSI cable into.
