Have you got a proper thinwire segment between all of them? The one thing
that always caught my customers out was the end connections MUST be t-pieces
with 50 ohm terminators, even on the servers. If you've got a DS90 on its
own it must have a t-piece with 2 terminators on its thinwire port, even if
its the stackable module. DS90L+'s are dumb enough not to require anything
else.

cheers
