As for the drive with a resistor pack needing to be at

cable, I disagree. I had a two-disk system, and both drives were
identical. I know that, because when I first got the computer, I plugged
the drives in, turned them on, turned on the expansion box, and turned on
the computer, and they worked. I tried the drives the other way (switched
them on the cable), and they still worked.
The Model One was incredibly forgiving about the presence of the
termination pack. I saw them work reliably with the terminator
missing, on the wrong drive, or doubled up. Three was right out.

When I was crossing the border into Canada, they asked me if I had any
firearms with me. I said "Well, what do you need?" -- Steven Wright
