- Termination was tried both ways on the CD drive. The 2 HDDs are
SCA-80, and it looks like those are in the middle of the chain. probe-scsi
shows _only_ the 2 HDDs, never the CD. probe-scsi-all will have to wait
until I get home from work...

- Hopefully the DEC RRD42 will work, like people say it should. Could
that external CD be mounted in the Ultra1? I'd hate to clutter up my desk
_more_... :)
