If it's the last device on the bus you should set  Enable drive 
terminator and only on that. I only know about Term. power from drive,
should be off, maybe Term. power from SCSI bus on, donl't know. Does 
the Computer provide Termpower at all? I know the TT external SCSI 
does not provide Termpower, only the internal connector. If it doesn't
it might get difficult.
