I think that terminator is embedded to the scaner, as it works good enough<br>
under Win95. And there's no place on scanner to put it :).<br>
It connected with SCSI card by LPT-like connector.<br>
I think that problem is that this scaner/card is not _real_ SCSI device,<br>
and standard SCSI init process failed on it.<br>
