I've recently noticed termination issues with my NeXTstations and SCSI
drives when I tried to use newer drives.  The original ST1280Ns seem
to operate fine without a terminator on the external SCSI port. The newer
drives I use all seem to require the use of a terminator. This is under
NeXTSTEP 3.3.  I've not yet tried to boot NetBSD/next68k.

It's been a few weeks since I booted them, so I don't remember the exact
error messages I get under NeXTSTEP.  I'll check tonight.
