What symptoms are exhibited by
an improperly terminated drive?
a higher than normal incidence of errors. ANY disk system will
occasionally produce errors, but hopefully in a statistically negligible
quantity. Certain factors, such as incorrect termination, can
significantly increase the probability of errors. It still works, but not
as reliably as "normal". It can be a minor increase in errors, or it can
render it to a state of barely working - "it just works". (see also:
