My Falcon/CT60 is in a tower case and I have terminator where the SCSI
chain comes out the back of the case so termination on the drive
hasn't been required. You've now identified the firmware jumpers which
I'll also leave well alone. That just leaves a third set but you'd
need to take the metal casing off to get to them. I'll try and take
mine appart this weekend.

I'd worked out the ID settings, changing it from 1/2 to 5/6.

I've done some reorganising when I added a 10Gb drive and then later
repartitioned my original 2.1Gb drive down from 6 partitions to 3. I
also swapped over my card readers. Each time it came back with three
icons even after deleting them. On the software side I upgraded from
MagiC 6.01 to 6.2 and HDDriver 8.04 to 8.16.

Thanks for the manual. Looks like I've got a lot of printing to do!
I'm less worried about the three icons more about why the card isn't
recognised. I'll have to recheck my system to see if I've got anything
set up wrong.
