Well, I was noticing that after installing Slackware, I was getting drive
errors from fsck. The drive has an SCA port, and Fry's includes a cheap
little SCA to power / SCSI / Jumper adapter. It looks like that stupid
little adapter doesn't have a jumper for termination, just terminator
power (it was labeled TPR). From the store display, I assumed that the
adapter was from Quantum. It's not. 

The ball of wax is going back to Fry's tomorrow (I know, I know, but they
were convenient. Serves me right.)

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of shopping at Fry's,
the Moral of my story is "Never Ever buy anything from Fry's. Not even a
power cord."
