I have a 25 pin terminater which I had to mail order from UMAX it connects
to the 2nd external p.port type scsi connector on the back of the scanner

5'-6' (2 meters or so)

there is no cable in the computer currently ,I disconnected the drive that
was on it to eliminate other devices being the source of my problems.

hm internal? I shouldn't have to have anything terminated if there is
nothing connected to it should I? I mean where would you even terminate
it? (maybe I don't understand scsi enough hm)
