An easy one (after that db9 debacle!) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

16 Dec 1999

OOPS!  I missed one . . . one of my pre-Seagate CDC drives does indeed use
220/330 termination resistor packs.  It's the only one, as it turns out.
Oddly enough, the MAXTOR, CDC, and Micropolis drives don't care whether the
R-pack is installed or not, but the Miniscribe models won't work without
them.

 What is the resistor values for the term pack? 220/330?

That is what I have always found/used.
