Well....irrespective of the Zip drive crap termination, your SCSI chain
breaks the SCSI specs..unless you have changed it so that both ends of the
bus are terminated.
Terminator------CSMKIII--------device------Terminator
..being a minimum single device combination
up to 15 devices of course....
replace a Terminator with a terminated device...
Terminator-----CSMKIII-----Terminated device
