An easy one (after that db9 debacle!)

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.
