Very Computer

Questions:
  1) The ZIP drive has a termination switch to be set on if the ZIP drive is
the
     last one in the chain.  Does this mean that I do not need to use some kind
     of terminator (if that is what you call it) on the other port.
  2) Even though it seems the interface card is detected and the timeouts occur
     while Linux tries to detect the ZIP drive, is it possible that the card
     is not being detected. (Note:  The card is not automatically detected,
     I specify irq, port and other info at the loadlin command prompt.)

Thanks for your time!

or whatever you parameters are....there maybe a way to do it without lilo  
but this works for me.
