IDE terminators [Re: Win (or lose) 3.10 (Was: Kaypro PC ? == Micro 1]

Where have you managed to find the schematics for IDE drives (seriously, I am lookiing for them)? My point being that while there may not be resistor packs for the user to fit/remove (as with SCSI and 5.25" floppy drives) ,there may well be 'rather too high' termination resisotrs that have some effect and which can be left in-circuit for any configuration (after all, an IDE ssytem is a controller and one or 2 trives, there are really ony 2 valid comfigurations), like 3.5" drives. Yes, 3.5" drives normally have soldered-in 1k termination resisotrs. Not ideal, but better than nothing, and most users never bother with them. So without seeing the scheamtics for the drvies, I don't see you can say there are no terminators. -tony
